" "Understanding Water Baptisim" "
AUTHOR:
INTRODUCTION.
St Matthew 3:13-AV Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him. Matthew 3:14-AV But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me? Matthew 3:15-AV And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer [it to be so] now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him. Matthew 3:16-AV And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:
Matthew 3:17-AVAnd lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased)( The Bible do not leave us in any darkness as to the meaning of this doctrine. Any time a person is truly converted he or she will want to be baptized as soon as possible
Acts 8:12. Acts 8:36-AV 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 baptized? Acts 8:37-AV 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. Acts 8:38-AV And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.
WHAT DOES WATER BAPTISM SIGNIFIED?
Romans 6:3-AV Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
Romans 6:4-AV 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 also should walk in newness of life. Romans 6:5-AV For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also [in the likeness] of [his] resurrection:
Colossians 2:12-AV 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.
Galatians 3:27-AV For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
WHAT OR WHOSE NAME SHOULD A PERSON BAPTIZE IN?
1 John 5:7-AV For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. 1 John 5:8-AV And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.
THE JEWS BELIEVE GOD HAVE A SON.
Proverbs 30:1-AV The words of Agur the son of Jakeh, [even] the prophecy: the man spake unto Ithiel, even unto Ithiel and Ucal, Proverbs 30:2-AV Surely I [am] more brutish than [any] man, and have not the understanding of a man. Proverbs 30:3-AV I neither learned wisdom, nor have the knowledge of the holy. Proverbs 30:4-AV Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what [is] his name, and what [is] his son's name, if thou canst tell?
Daniel 3:25-AV He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.
1 Corinthians 1:17-AV For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.
BAPTISM IN JESUS NAME.
Five Names of the Messiah
"His name, His name, not his title, his name, look and read.
1.Wonderful. Hebrew: pele (HSN-6382), a miracle; a marvelous thing; wonderful. Translated wonder (Isaiah 29:14; Exodus 15:11; Psalm 77:11-15; Psalm 88:10-12; Psalm 89:5; Daniel 12:6); wonderful (Isaiah 9:6; Isaiah 25:1; Psalm 119:129); wonderfully (Lament. 1:9); and marvelous things (Psalm 78:12). 2.Counsellor. Hebrew: yaats (HSN-3289), advise; consult; to deliberate; guide. Translated "counsellor" 22 times. This name expresses the idea that He is the Supreme Counselorthe one who is qualified to give counsel and advice to all created beings. 3.The mighty God. Hebrew: gibbowr (HSN-1368), powerful; mighty; strong; champion; chief, and El (HSN-410), Almighty; the Strong One. It literally means the Mighty Almighty, or the conquering God. One of many places where the Messiah is called "God" (Isaiah 9:6; John 1:1; John 20:28; Romans 9:5; 1 Tim. 3:16; Hebrews 1:8; 1 John 5:20). 4.The everlasting Fatherthe Father of eternity; the Planner of the ages; and Father of all time (Hebrews 1:2). It does not mean that Jesus the Messiah is the one known as God, the Father, the first person of the Trinity, for He is another person. See The Trinity. 5.The Prince of Peacethe Peaceful Prince. He shall promote and increase His government and peace without wars (Isaiah 9:6; Isaiah 2:2-4).
Acts 2:38-AV Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Acts 2:39-AV For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, [even] as many as the Lord our God shall call. Acts 2:40-AV And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.
It does not matter which baptism your church chooses to use. In the Apostles' time, they stressed baptism in Jesus's name because the Jews, and Gentiles of the time did not believe that the Jesus the apostles were presenting to them, was indeed the son of God. They believed that God had a son, but they did not believe that this Jesus was that son. Prov 30:4.
That is why baptizing in Jesus name was brought in. To be sure the people understood, the apostles had to pronounce the name of Jesus over them.
But that does not rule out what Jesus taught in St Matthew 28:19-AV Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
BAPTISM IN FATHER, SON AND HOLY SPIRIT?
Isaiah 9:6-AV For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace
Jesus, and Peter are not in conflict, they are fighting the same enemy from opposite sides. Jesus is refereed to as a title in ST John 19:19. Matthew 28:19 a[therefore ...] In view of My authority, I commission you with full power of attorney to carry on the work that I have started (note, ?John 16:23). Great Commission Fourfold: 1.Go. This applies to all believers, not only preachers. The invitation to salvation is for all alike, so why should not the responsibility of getting the invitation to others be for all alike? We have the same rights, privileges, promises, and provision for equipment for service, so all should help in every possible way to evangelize the world according to our ability and direction from God. There is no excuse for millions of church members leaving this work to only a few who seek to obey the Great Commission.
WHAT BAPTISE IN THE NAME MEAN?
IS FATHER A NAME?
HIS NAME SHALL BE CALL:
The mighty God. powerful; mighty; strong; champion; chief, and Almighty; the Strong One. It literally means the Mighty Almighty, or the conquering God. One of many places where the Messiah is called "God" (Isaiah 9:6; John 1:1; John 20:28; Romans 9:5; 1 Tim. 3:16; Hebrews 1:8; 1 John 5:20). 4.The everlasting Father-the Father of eternity; the Planner of the ages; and Father of all time (Hebrews 1:2). It does not mean that Jesus the Messiah is the one known as God, the Father, the first person of the Trinity, for He is another person.
The Prince of Peace-the Peaceful Prince. He shall promote and increase His government and peace without wars (Isaiah 9:6; Isaiah 2:2
Sixteen Jehovah Titles
SPRINKLING.
sprinkling is justifiable whenever there not much water. however, if a person understand the principle of water baptism. A spoon full of water could be use to baptize them. The same way how we take "Holy Communion" We today only use a little piece of bread, because we understand the principle, however, during the apostles time, people came to eat, and drink until they were full. The apostles have to tell them that if they are hungry they must eat at home.
SUPPOSE I DIE BEFORE I AM BAPTIZE?
St Luke 23:43. Did not have time to be baptized, and he did not need to be baptize, since Christ did not died as yet. But a believer who is not ready for baptism is neither ready for heaven.
DO I HAVE TO BE BAPTIZE IN A RIVER?
DOES BAPTISM SAVE A SOUL?
SPIRIT BAPTISM PLUS WATER BAPTISM.
Ephes. 4:5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism, Matthew 3 abaptized] Greek: baptizo (GSN-907), from bapto (SN-911), to dip (Luke 16:24; Rev. 19:13; John 13:26); to overwhelm with suffering (Matthew 20:22-23; Luke 12:50); to bury into (Romans 6:3-7; Col. 2:12), regardless of the element used. Acts 8:38 Seven Baptisms in Scripture: 1.John's baptism in water (Matthew 3; Mark 1; Luke 3; Luke 7:29-30; John 1:31-33; John 3:23- 26; John 10:40; Acts 1:5; Acts 11:16; Acts 19:3) 2.Christ's baptism in water (John 3:22; John 4:1-2) 3.Baptism in suffering (Luke 12:50) 4.Baptism in the cloud and in the sea (1 Cor. 10:2) 5.Christian baptism in water (Matthew 28:19; Mark 16:16; Acts 2:38-41; Acts 8:12- 16,36-38; Acts 9:18; Acts 10:47-48; Acts 16:15,33; Acts 18:8; Acts 19:5; Acts 22:16; 1 Cor. 1:13-17; 1 Peter 3:21) 6.Baptism into Christ and into His body (Romans 6:3-7; 1 Cor. 12:13; Galatians 3:27; Col. 2:12) 7.Baptism in the Holy Spirit (Matthew 3:11,14; Matthew 20:22-23; Mark 1:8; Mark 10:38-39; Luke 3:16; John 1:33; John 7:37-39; Acts 1:5; Acts 11:16; Acts 19:2-3)
Three Baptisms for Believers:
St Matthew 3:11-AV 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:
Mark 1:4-AV John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.
Mark 16:14-AV Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen. Mark 16:15-AV And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. Mark 16:16-AV He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
Matthew 3:4-AV And the same John had his raiment of camel's hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey. Matthew 3:5-AV Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the region round about Jordan, Matthew 3:6-AV And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins.
BAPTISM MUST FALLOW REPENTANCE.
INFIDELS ARE SOMETIME BAPTIZED ALONG WITH THE FAITHFUL.
THE EUNUCH WAS BAPTIZED IN THE DESERT.
THE PLACE A PERSON BAPTIZE DOES NOT MATTER.
IT DOES NOT STOP HERE
