Question: What is Baptism?
A1. Baptism symbolizes union with Christ
Romans 6:3 All of us were baptized into Christ Jesus. Don’t you know that we were baptized into his death? 4 By being baptized, we were buried with Christ into his death. Christ has been raised from the dead by the Father’s glory. And like Christ we also can live a new life.
5 By being baptized, we have been joined with him in a death like his. So we will certainly also be joined with him in a resurrection like his.
Col. 2:12 When you were baptized, you were buried together with Christ. And you were raised to life together with him when you were baptized. You were raised to life by believing in God’s work. God himself raised Jesus from the dead.
A2. Baptism symbolizes cleansing from sin
Acts 22: 16 (conversion of Paul) So what are you waiting for? Get up and call on his name. Be baptized. Have your sins washed away.’
Titus 3: 4 But the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared. 5 He saved us. It wasn’t because of the good things we had done. It was because of his mercy. He saved us by washing away our sins. We were born again. The Holy Spirit gave us new life. 6 God poured out the Spirit on us freely. That’s because of what Jesus Christ our Savior has done. 7 His grace made us right with God. So now we have received the hope of eternal life as God’s children.
A3. Passing through judgment
Flood and Noah’s Ark
1 Peter 3: 19 After that, Christ went and made an announcement to the spirits in prison. 20 Long ago these spirits did not obey. That was when God was patient while Noah was building the ark. And only a few people went into the ark. In fact, there were only eight. Those eight people were saved through water. 21 The water of the flood is a picture. It is a picture of the baptism that now saves you too. This baptism has nothing to do with removing dirt from your body. Instead, it promises God that you will keep a clear sense of right and wrong. This baptism (is a picture of death/resurrection) saves you by the same power that raised Jesus Christ from the dead. 22 He has gone into heaven. He is at God’s right hand. Angels, authorities and powers are under his control.
Red Sea Crossing
1 Corinthians 10:1 Brothers and sisters, I want you to know something about our people who lived long ago. They were all led by the cloud. They all walked through the Red Sea. 2 They were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea. 3 They all ate the same spiritual food. 4 They all drank the same spiritual water. They drank from the spiritual rock that went with them. That rock was Christ.
Why be baptized?
The first responsibility of every believer!!!
Obedience to Christ Commission and Entrance to the Church
Matt. 28:19 having gone, then, disciple all the nations, (baptizing them -- to the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit,20 teaching them to observe all, whatever I did command you,) and lo, I am with you all the days -- till the full end of the age.’ (YLT)
Acts 2:41 Those who accepted his message were baptized. About 3,000 people joined the believers that day.
