BAPTISM BAPTISM
(Part 2)(Part 2)
2
To understand the whole concept of baptism, we need to look at scriptures throughout the gospels in the book of
Acts, the Epistles, and personal letters, so we can grasp the overall meaning.
The meaning of Baptism
We’ll also look at the relationship of baptism to other biblical concepts.
3
Matthew 3:11 (NIV) “I baptize you with water for
repentance. But after me will come one who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not fit to carry. He will baptize you with
the Holy Spirit and with fire.
Baptism into Christ
4
John 3:5-7 (NIV) Jesus answered, "I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God
unless he is born of water and the Spirit. Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit. You
should not be surprised at my saying, 'You must be born again.'
Baptism into Christ
5
Galatians 3:27 (NIV) “For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with
Christ”.
Baptism into Christ
6
Acts 1:5 (NIV) For John baptized with water, but in a few
days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.
Baptism with the Holy Spirit
1 Corinthians 12:13 (NIV) For we were all baptized by one Spirit into one body--whether Jews or Greeks, slave or free--and we were all given the one Spirit to drink.
7
Acts 8:12-13 (NIV) But when they believed Philip as he
preached the good news of the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ,
they were baptized, both men and women. Simon himself believed and was
baptized. And he followed Philip everywhere, astonished by the great
signs and miracles he saw.
Baptism and faith
8
Acts 2:38 (NIV) Peter replied, "Repent and be
baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the
forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy
Spirit.
Baptism and repentance
9
Remember that Jesus in Luke 13:1-7;
Emphazised the need of repentance to those Jews
who wanted to be in a right relationship with God.
“I tell you, no: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise
perish”.
10
Mark 16:16 (NIV) Whoever believes and is baptized will be
saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.
Baptism and Salvation
1 Peter 3:21 (NIV) And this water symbolizes baptism that now saves you also--not the removal of dirt from
the body but the pledge of a good conscience toward God. It saves you by the resurrection
of Jesus Christ
11
Matthew 28:19-20 (NIV) “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. And
surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
Baptism and commission
12
Often today you will hear it said that the ONE baptism that Ephesians 4 refers to is the baptism in or by the Holy Spirit.
And that many of the references to baptism means Holy Sprit baptism
This overlooks that fact that Holy Spirit baptism is something that the bible
describes as being given as the Holy Spirit given as He wills.
13
This cannot be true because the Baptism that Jesus describes in
His commission and which is found in most New Testament passages was by Command
something that the apostles and we as servants of Christ are commanded to do. Teaching
people and baptising them and continuing to teach them
14
Romans 6:3-4 (NIV) 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.
Baptism and union
Galatians 3:27 (NIV) For all of you who were baptized into Christ have
clothed yourselves with Christ.
15

16
The example of Christ (Mark1:9, Luke 3:21) The commission of Jesus (Matthew 28:19-20)The plan of salvation (Acts 2:38, Mark 16:16)
The union with Christ (Romans 6:3-4)
Why we need baptism
17
Baptism Cannot:Baptism Cannot:
• change the heart–heart must be changed before
baptism–“hearing” the gospel & “faith”
changes the heart
• change the heart–heart must be changed before
baptism–“hearing” the gospel & “faith”
changes the heart
WHAT BAPTISM CANNOT DO
18
The Heart ChangesThe Heart Changes
Acts 2:37,“Now when they heard this, they were cut
to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, ‘Men and brethren,
what shall we do?’”
Acts 2:37,“Now when they heard this, they were cut
to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, ‘Men and brethren,
what shall we do?’”Believing what they “heard” affected their
“heart”
19
The Heart Changes
Acts 8:37,“Then Philip said, ‘If you believe with all your heart, you may.’ And he answered and said, ‘I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.’ So he commanded the chariot to stand still. And both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water and he baptized him.”
Acts 8:37,“Then Philip said, ‘If you believe with all your heart, you may.’ And he answered and said, ‘I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.’ So he commanded the chariot to stand still. And both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water and he baptized him.”BELIEVE FIRST, THEN BAPTISM
20
Baptism Cannot change your life
Baptism changes your spiritual life and your relationship with God
21
Baptism Cannot change your life
Will not make your physical life any healthier baptized believers often feared for their life in
New Testament
Will not necessarily make your social life any fuller, you may become an outcast
Will not necessarily make your political life any stronger, some were even unwilling to confess
Christ (John. 12:42, 43)
22
Baptism Cannot change your life
Will not necessarily make your business life any more successful being a Christian may create extra bonds, promotions may
have to be crucifiedWill not make your academic life any
easierWill not necessarily make your family life
any smoother (Matthew 10:34-38)
23
Baptism Cannot Remove temptation from your life
“But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own
desires.” (James 1:14)
Jesus’ example Matthew 3:13; 4:11; Hebrews 4:15;
24
Baptism Cannot Prevent All Wrong
Simon sinned grievously after he was baptized (Acts 8:13, 18-23)
Peter & Barnabas (Galatians 2:11-14)
Paul had to continually discipline his body (1 Corinthians 9:27)
25
Baptism Cannotpermanently secure eternal life
The bible does NOT teach “once saved, always saved” the bible
exhorts baptized believers to work out their own salvation (Philippians 2:12;
3:11, 12, 14) the bible is full of warnings about departing.
26
Baptism Cannot“Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing
from the living God” Hebrews 3:12;
It is a warning to “brethren”It is a warning to “brethren”
• It is a warning to brethren who may have an It is a warning to brethren who may have an “evil heart”“evil heart”
• It is a warning to brethren who may departIt is a warning to brethren who may depart
27
Baptism Cannot Give life to the living (saved), but only to the
dead (Iost)
Saved people do not get baptized; sinners get baptized to reach salvation
Forgiven people do not get baptized; baptized people get forgiven (Colossians 2:12, 13)
Living people do not get buried; likewise, saved people do not get baptized
