Acts 8:26-40 – A Believer’s Baptism answers the question of do you need to be baptized in order to be saved? In Acts 8, Philip experiences a radical encounter with a high-powered Ethiopian on a desert road and leads the man to saving faith in Jesus. Baptism does not lead to salvation or the washing away of sins, but baptism is a command from Jesus and a believer’s response of obedience! Don’t miss Pastor JC Cooper’s message, Acts 8:26-40 A Believer’s Baptism, and grow in your understanding of why you should be baptized.

‘”Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.’

The Apostle Paul wrote: “Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection, knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin. For he who has died has been freed from sin.  Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him, knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him. For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God. Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

Romans 6:3-11, (NKJV)     https://www.blueletterbible.org/nkjv/rom/6/3-11/s_1052003

 

 

“There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling;  one Lord, one faith, one baptism;  one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.”
