the gospel? When the people
felt convicted on the day of Pentecost what did Peter say they should
do? It’s in the Bible, Acts 2:38, "Peter replied, ‘Repent
and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ so that
your sins may be forgiven.’" What does baptism
represent? It’s in the Bible, Acts 22:16, "And now, why wait
any longer? Get up and be baptized and have your sins washed away by calling
on His name." How many different
types of baptism do the Scriptures teach? It’s in the Bible, Ephesians
4:5, "One Lord, one faith,
one baptism." How is such a baptism
described? It’s in the Bible, Romans 6:2-7, . "We died to
sin; how can we live in it any longer? Or don’t you know that all of us
who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? We were
therefore buried with Him through baptism into death in order that, just
as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we
too may live a new life." What occurred at
the baptism of Jesus? It’s in the Bible, Matthew 3:16-17, "As soon as Jesus was baptized, He went
up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and He saw the
Spirit of God descending like a dove and lighting on Him. And a voice
from heaven said, ‘This is My Son, whom I love; with Him I am well pleased.’" Into whose name
are believers to be baptized? It’s in the Bible, Matthew 28:19,
"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in
the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching
them to obey everything I have commanded you." [That name is Jesus
or better yet Yahoshua, from the original] How and where did
Philip conduct the baptism of the converted eunuch? It’s in the Bible,
Acts 8:36-39, "As they traveled along the road, they came to some
water and the eunuch said, ‘Look, here is water. Why shouldn’t I be baptized?’
And he ordered the chariot to stop. Then both Philip and the eunuch went
down into the water and Philip baptized him. When they came up out of
the water, the Spirit of the Lord suddenly took Philip away, and the eunuch
did not see him again, but went on his way rejoicing." What are the prerequisites
of baptism? It’s in the Bible, Acts 8:12, "But when they believed
Philip’s message about the good news of the Kingdom of God and the name
of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women." {Source: Taken from bibleinfo website} |
