Truth About Baptism

[BanjoPicker]

Mk. 1:4 John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.

John did baptize in the wilderness, meaning Mt. 3:6

and preach the baptism of repentance meaning Mt. 3:1

for the remission of sins meaning because meaning of Mt. 3:11

Mt. 3:11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear; he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire; meaning

I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance; meaning

10 Reasons Forgiveness Not by WATER:

1. Gr. eis. a preposition trans. with baptism unto (Mt. 3:11), and for (because of, by reason of, on account of) in Mk. 1:4; Lk. 3:3; Acts 2:38. Eis is translated for (because of) 140 times; on 58 times; and upon 25 times. It appears in "for this same purpose" (Rom. 9:17; Col. 4:8); "for this cause" (Jn. 18:37; 1 Pet. 4:6); "for this purpose" (Acts 26:16; 1 Jn. 3:8); and "for that intent" (Acts 9:21)

2. On all occasions confession of sins was required and was made before baptism (Mt. 3:8, 11; Mk. 1:5; Lk. 3:8-14)

3. Only believers were baptized after repentance and faith in Christ (Mt. 28:19; Mk. 16:16; Acts 2:38, 41; 8:12, 13, 37; 16:14, 15, 31-33; 18:8; 19:1-7). and in some cases after receiving the Holy Spirit (Acts 9:17, 18; 10:44-48)

4. Christ who knew no sin was baptized. Christ submitted to baptism for two reasons;
(1) To fulfill righteousness v 15
(2) To be manifest to Israel Jn. 1:31

5. Only a symbol of the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ (1 Pet. 3:21)

6. Not essential to salvation (1 Cor. 1:13-21)

7. Faith in the blood of Christ brings remission of sin (26:28; Rom. 3:24, 25; 4:1-25; 5:1-11; 8:2; 10:4-10; 1 Cor. 15:1-5; Eph. 1:7; 2:8, 9; Gal. 3:19-29; Jn. 3:16; Acts 10:43; 13:38, 39; 1 Cor. 1:18-21; 1 Jn. 1:9; 5:1)

8. O. T. saints, including John and all in Lk. 1:15, 41, 46, 67; 2:25-38 who were filled with the Spirit, were saved without water baptism

9. Christ forgave sins without baptism (Mt. 9:1-7; Lk. 7:36-50; 18:9-14; 19:1-9; 23:43; Jn. 4:49-53; 7:31; 8:30, 31; 11:45; 12:11, 42; Acts 3:1-11, 16; 4:10-12; etc.)

10. It does not put away the filth of the flesh (1 Pet. 3:21 note)

Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.

But God! ... Time reveals, and heals, at times methinks.

3 BAPTISMS FOR BELEIVERS

1. Into Christ or into His body at repentance and the new birth (pt. 6, above). Called "one baptism" (Eph. 4:5), because it is the only baptism that saves the soul and brings into the body of Christ.

2. Water baptism after one is saved (pt. 5, above and v 11).

3. Spirit baptism, the enduement of power for service, It can take place before water baptism (Acts 10:44-48); or after it (Acts 1:4-8; 2:1-11; 8:12-21; 19:1-7).
The Holy Spirit is the agent to baptize into Christ and into His body (1 Cor. 12:13; Christ is the agent to baptize in the Holy Spirit (Matt. 3:11; Jn. 1:31-33); and the minister is the agent to baptize into water (Mt. 28:19).
