Baptism

Sometimes it is good to remind ourselves of basic principles. One of which is Baptism (Heb. 6:1-2). There are several things stated about Baptism which is good to be briefly reminded of and to keep in mind:


It is necessary for salvation (I Peter 3:21)

It is through baptism that God adds to the church (Acts 2:47)

It is necessary to fulfill all righteousness (Matthew 3:15)

It grants the forgiveness of sins (Acts 2:38, Acts 22:16)

It is a commandment (Acts 10:48, Acts 22:16)

It is necessary in order to put on Christ (Galatians 3:27)

It is immersion (Acts 8:38-39, baptizo - “to dip or immerse”)
