BELIEVER'S BAPTISM
Lesson Three
The Christian life, entered through the new birth, is just that - a life. In the Bible, a new Christian is compared to a "baby" (1Peter 2:2), and is commanded to “GROW in grace” to maturity (2Peter 3:18). A Christian therefore, is not to stay as a “baby” all their life, but to GROW. And an important FIRST step of a Bible believing Christian’s growth is believer’s baptism (Acts 2:37-41; Matthew 28:18-20).
This simple step of obedience is NOT part of being saved - it is God’s test of whether or not a person whole-heartily wants to follow the Lord Jesus Christ now that they ARE saved!
This lesson will explain what believer’s baptism is, its importance, and when a Christian should get baptized.
