As an outward sign of an inward change, baptism is a
public testimony
that now you belong to Jesus. Its significance as the
sign of the new
birth is fully discussed in Romans 6. There Paul
speaks of the
transforming power of grace within the life of the
believer. Baptism is
also the means of becoming a member of the church
(Compare Acts 2:41,
47).
9. What word, meaning “put in the grave,” is used to
describe baptism?
Romans 6:4
Baptism symbolizes the death and burial of our sins.
When a dead body is
buried, it is more than sprinkled with dirt. For the
same reason, we want
our sins to be completely buried.
The word baptism itself means to immerse. It was used
in the textile
industry long before the days of John the baptist.
When cloth was
“baptized” in the dye, it was not just sprinkled, but
completely immersed
in it.
10. What word in verse 5 means buried?
Romans 6:5
11. Why was John baptizing in Aenon?
John 3:23
If John had been sprinkling, he would not have needed
much water.
12. As Jesus came up out of the water following His
baptism, what did He
see?
Mark 1:10
13. What must be done to all nations before they are
baptized?
Matthew 28:19
God wants His people to be intelligent in regard to
His truth. They are
to be taught “to observe all things whatsoever I have
commanded you,” He
says. Matthew 28:20.
Baptism signifies conversion. Conversion requires the
cooperation of the
will. Under the conviction of the Holy Spirit, the
person chooses to
consecrate his life to God. He renounces his sins and
by the power of God
is born again to new life in Christ.
The story of the Ethiopian eunuch (Acts 8:26-39) is an
inspiring account
of a man searching for truth. As he read the
Scriptures, the Lord
directed Philip to him to present the gospel of Jesus.
Convicted of his
need of Christ, the eunuch asked to be baptized. So
Philip baptized him
in a nearby body of water.
Acts 19:1-5 tells of some people who were baptized
more than once. They
had been baptized once at the preaching of John, but
had not yet learned
all the truth. Now, as Paul shared with them
additional vital truths,
their Christian experience was so enriched by the new
light, they felt
their need to be baptized again.
14. What is God’s invitation to those who have
accepted His truth?
Acts 22:16
15. In what did God speak to Elijah?
1 Kings 19:12
Not all voices can be trusted. Beware of voices which
contradict the
Scriptures. The voice of the Spirit to our conscience
will never differ
from the teachings of the Bible. He speaks to us
through the Bible. Jesus
said, “He shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever
he shall hear, that
shall he speak.” “For he shall receive of mine, and
shall shew it unto
you.” John 16:13, 14. The Holy Spirit comes to
forcibly impress upon our
minds the word of God. Never will He direct us any
other way.
16. What does the voice of the Lord say to us?
Isaiah 30:21

Hebrews 3:7, 8
21. What do some always do to the Holy Ghost?
Acts 7:51
22. As their fathers did, what do they do?
Acts 7:53
23. What eventually happens to a person’s conscience
who continually
resists the voice of God’s Spirit?
1 Timothy 4:2
24. What warning did Paul give?
Ephesians 4:30
25. Does God’s Spirit ever stop working with men?
Genesis 6:3
26. Who will enter into the kingdom of heaven?

“If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good
of the land.”
Isaiah 1:19.

them that do what?

Proverbs 28:9
33. What did Jesus say to do when the Spirit speaks?
Revelation 3:22
34. Will any hardship or other circumstances ever make
us regret our
decision to obey the Lord?
Psalm 37:25
“I have fought a good fight, I have finished my
course, I have kept the
faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of
righteousness, which
the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that
day: and not to me
only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.”
2 Timothy 4:7, 8.
In the Light of God’s Word....(Please respond YES or
NO)
I understand that the Holy Spirit’s continued work in
my life is
dependent upon my obedience to His word.
I choose to commit my life entirely to Jesus, and to
take my stand with
His commandment-keeping people.
