Basics of Baptism

Study the Bible to find out if these things are true about the one baptism (Ephesians 4:5):

  1. Jesus’ blood washes us from sin in baptism (Romans 6:3) We are baptized into Christ’s death, which is when His body and blood were given. So, access to His blood is not possible without baptism, according to Paul.
  2. Happens after belief (Mark 16:16) The Bible never records “infant baptism,” only people believing and then being baptized.
  3. Means immersion (Romans 6:4, buried) To claim that you were baptized by being sprinkled with water is like saying that you were running by hopping. Running is not hopping, and baptism is not sprinkling.
  4. In water (Acts 8:38)
  5. For the remission of sins (Acts 2:38; Matthew 26:28)
  6. Adds us by the Spirit to the church (1 Corinthians 12:13) Is your church in the Bible?
  7. Is a part of calling on the name of the Lord (Acts 22:16) We cannot call upon the Lord for salvation without baptism.
  8. Saves us (1 Peter 3:21)
