Discover What Makes Baptism So Special - testimonies of God at work in human hearts
The Importance of Being Baptised
A baptism service on the 2nd of April. Congratulations to Moses, Linda, and Phyllis as they take this step of faith.
Why Should I Be Baptised? - Because Christ Commands it.
(Matthew 28:19-20) "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen."
To follow the example set by Christ.
(Mark 1:9) "And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptised of John in Jordan."
It demonstrates that I am a Believer.
(Acts 18:8) "...many of the Corinthians hearing believed, and were baptised."
(1 John 2:3) "And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments."
What is the Meaning of Baptism?
It illustrates Christ’s Death, Burial, and Resurrection.
(1 Corinthians 15:3-4) "Christ died for our sins... He was buried...and He rose again."
(Colossians 2:12) "Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead."
It illustrates my New Life as a Christian.
(2 Corinthians 5:17) "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away: behold, all things are become new."
(Romans 6:4) "Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we should walk in newness of life!"
Baptism doesn’t make you a believer — it shows that you already believe. Baptism does not "save" you, only your faith in Christ does that.
Baptism is like a wedding ring — it’s the outward symbol of the commitment you made in your heart.
(Ephesians 2:8-9) "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God : not of works lest any man should boast."
Why Be Baptised By Immersion?
Because Jesus was baptised that way.
(Matthew 3:16) "And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water..."
Every baptism in the Bible was by immersion.
(Acts 8:38-39) "...and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptised him. And when they were come up out of the water the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip..."
The word "Baptise" is a transliteration of the Greek word baptizo means "to immerse or dip under".
It best symbolises a burial and resurrection!
Who Should Be Baptised?
Every person who has Believed in Christ.
(Acts 2:4) "Then they that gladly received his word were baptised…"
(Acts 8:13) "Simon himself believed also: and…he was baptised..."
(Acts 8:12) "But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptised, both men and women."
(Acts 8:36-38) "And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptised? And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptised him."
