“And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “ All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.” Matthew 28:18

“When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him” Matthew 3:16“

Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit” Acts 2:38

What is baptism? It’s public declaration of private decision.

Why do we need to be water baptized?
- Jesus modeled it
- Apostles practiced it
- Jesus commanded it in the great commission (Matthew 28:19)
- It symbolizes death to our old life and rising up to our new life (Romans 6)

What are the requirements for baptism?
- Faith in Jesus (Acts 2:41)
- Repentance from sin (Acts 2:38)

Is water baptism required for salvation? Answer is NO! We are saved by grace through faith! Baptism follows our salvation but it’s not required for salvation! Criminal on the cross was not baptized yet he joined Jesus in paradise.

Can infants be baptized? Answer is NO! Baby dedication and baptism are two separate things. Jesus was baptized as an adult. As a infant, He was dedicated in the temple! Plus, baptism is for those who believe and repent, infants don’t believe and they don’t repent!

Can you be baptized by someone sprinkling water on you? Answer is NO! Baptism comes from Greek word “immersion”. The very idea of baptism means full immersion into water, not few drops on your face. Bible says “Jesus came out of water” (Matthew 3:16) That means he was full immersed into water!
