The New Testament's

The New Testament's Teaching Concerning Baptism
2
A much misunderstood subject in the religious
world
Although almost every Christian group practices
it in some fashion, very few attach any eternal
significance to it
3
Thus far in our study we have examined the seven
baptisms to which the New Testament refers
Allowing the Bible to guide our thoughts, we have
concluded that there is currently only one
baptism, that of the Great Commission- baptism
for the remission of sins
4
There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are
called in one hope of your calling One Lord, one
faith, one baptism,
Ephesians 44, 5
5
And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world,
and preach the gospel to every creature. He that
believeth and is baptized shall be saved but he
that believeth not shall be damned.
Mark 1615, 16
6
And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All
power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go
ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing
them in the name of the Father, and of the Son,
and of the Holy Ghost
Matthew 2818, 19
7
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 238
8
We have likewise allowed the New Testament to
define baptism for us
It is an immersion
Water is the element in which it is to be
performed
9
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 64
10
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 836
11
Since there is only one (Ephesians 45), and
since the New Testament plainly defines it in the
fashion just noted, there can be no other mode
and there can be no other element
Thus, New Testament baptism binding on man today
is immersion in water
12
Last week we noted that baptism likewise has a
purpose
We found that when God tells man to do something
it must be done
Likewise, when God gives man the particulars for
doing something those must be obeyed
13
We also discovered that, though He does not
always do so, whenever God gives man a reason for
somethings being done, it must be done for that
reason
In baptism we found such an instance where God
gives reason
14
Thus, God commands man to be baptized- It must be
done
God gives particulars concerning baptism
(immersion in water)- It must be done in that
fashion and no other
God also gives purpose for it- It must be done
for that purpose
15
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 238
16
And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be
baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the
name of the Lord. Acts 2216
17
The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also
now save us (not the putting away of the filth of
the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience
toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ
I Peter 321
18
Therefore, the one baptism of the New Testament
binding on man today is the baptism of the Great
Commission
It is an immersion in water in order to obtain
the remission of sins
19
If it is not obeyed in this fashion and for this
reason, it is not New Testament baptism
In order to please God man must do what He says,
in the way He says and for the reason He says
Otherwise mans actions and faith are vain
20
And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the
things which I say? Luke 646
21
What Are the Results of Baptism?
22
What does baptism accomplish?
What is baptism said to do for man?
Obviously, since its purpose is the remission of
sins (washing away of sins salvation) it does
this
Is there anything else?

58
What is the significance of being baptized into
His death?
It was in His death that His blood was shed
59
But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was
dead already, they brake not his legs But one of
the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and
forthwith came there out blood and water.
John 1933, 34
60
What is the significance of being baptized into
His death?
It was in His death that His blood was shed
His blood is the only cleansing agent to remove
sin
61
For this is my blood of the new testament, which
is shed for many for the remission of sins.
Matthew 2628
62
And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful
witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and
the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him
that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his
own blood, Revelation 15
63
What is the significance of being baptized into
His death?
It was in His death that His blood was shed
His blood is the only cleansing agent to remove
sin
Thus, only by getting into His death can that
blood be contacted
64
The only way the Bible reveals that one can get
into His death or contact His cleansing blood
is through baptism!

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 64
67
In order to be raised like Christ was raised,
must be buried as Christ was buried
No one can be so raised who has not been so buried
In order to be raised with Christ one must be
buried with Christ
Baptism is the only thing that accomplishes this
for man

Romans 64
70
In order to be raised like Christ was raised,
must be buried as Christ was buried
This burial for man is baptism
One who has not been buried could never have been
raised to walk in newness of life
71
Therefore, one who has not been baptized (after
Gods plan) has not been buried, could not have
been raised, and does not walk in newness of life
(thus, is not a new creature)

Baptism Adds One to the Church
Those baptized had their sins remitted
75
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 238
76
Baptism Adds One to the Church
Those baptized had their sins remitted
By their baptism those baptized were added to a
group
77
Then they that gladly received his word were
baptized and the same day there were added unto
them about three thousand souls.
Acts 241
78
Baptism Adds One to the Church
Those baptized had their sins remitted
By their baptism those baptized were added to a
group
That group was The Lords church
79
Praising God, and having favour with all the
people. And the Lord added to the church daily
such as should be saved. Acts 247
Praising God, and having favor with all the
people. And the Lord added to them day by day
those that were saved. Acts 247 (ASV)
80
Baptism Adds One to the Church
Those baptized had their sins remitted
Why would being added to the church be so
significant?
By their baptism those baptized were added to a
group
That group was The Lords church
81
And he is the head of the body, the church who
is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead
that in all things he might have the
preeminence. Colossians 118
For the husband is the head of the wife, even as
Christ is the head of the church and he is the
saviour of the body. Ephesians 523
82
Baptism Adds One to the Church
Those baptized had their sins remitted
He is the Savior of it! Where else would the
saved be!
No wonder those saved (baptized) were added to it-
By their baptism those baptized were added to a
group
That group was The Lords church
83
What does baptism accomplish?
Through it man has his sins remitted, his sins
washed away, is saved
Through it one is in the way (Christ), truth
(Christ) and life (Christ) and has entered the
door (Christ)
84
Through it one has redemption, forgiveness of
sins, eternal life, every spiritual blessing,
salvation and is a new creature
This is true because these are all in Christ, and
the only way to get into Christ is to be baptized
into Christ
85
Baptism (Gods way) is the only way in which one
puts on Christ, reaches His blood, and is raised
to walk a new life
It is only through baptism that one is added to
the church of Christ (the only body He will save)
86
Have you been baptized Gods way- in the way He
says for the reason He says?
If not, you do not enjoy any of these blessings
