7 Reasons to be BaptizedMatthew 28:18-20
Introductory Thoughts
Baptism is a New Testament subject.
Six different baptisms are mentioned.
John’s baptism – Holy Spirit baptism – Baptism of sufferingBaptism of Moses – Baptism of fire – Water baptism
In this lesson I want to point out seven reasons one should be baptized.
Jesus Christ Commands It
Jesus died for you - Hebrews 2:9
He has all authority in heaven & earth, therefore He has the right to command it.
Listen to Him – Matthew 28:18-20 – Mark 16:15-16.
To Obey Jesus
Matthew 7:21.
Luke 6:46.
John 14:15.
1 John 2:3-4.
To Get Into Jesus Christ
Romans 6:3
Galatians 3:27
Notice closely what the Bible says
We believe unto – Romans 10:10We repent unto – Acts 11:18
We confess unto – Romans 10:10Notice the difference – Baptized into Christ
To Get Into The Church
Note on the day of Pentecost – Acts 2:38, 41.
Acts 18:8.
1 Corinthians 1:1-2.
1 Corinthians 12:13.
To Be Saved
Man says one is saved then baptized, God says one is baptized to be saved.
Mark 16:16.
Acts 22:16.
Romans 6:4.
1 Peter 3:21.
To Receive The Cleansing Blood Of Jesus Christ
The saved that John saw – Revelation 7:14.
Christ shed his blood in His death – John 19:34.
When one is baptized they are baptized into Christ’s death, where his blood was shed - Romans 6:3-4.
Acts 22:16.
Revelation 1:5.
To Go To Heaven
Matthew 7:21.
No one can read the Bible and deny that baptism is a command of Jesus.
We will never get to heaven without obeying His commands.
Closing Thoughts
In order to receive the benefits of His blood we must come into contact with it.
No better time than now to obey the simple Gospel of Jesus.
Next week, Lord willing, we will look at 7 things baptism will not do.
