TOPIC: CORRECT WATER BAPTISM
TEXT: Mark 16:15-16
KEY VERSE: Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
The believer requires water baptism. The baptism that Jesus commanded is in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is done by immersion in water because the three Persons are One. In Acts of the Apostles, the people were baptizing in the name of Jesus. They used the phrase “in the name of Jesus” to indicate that the baptism was carried out as authorized by Jesus, and the baptism authorized by Jesus is that which is done in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is not to say that they dip people in water and say, “I baptize you in the name of Jesus.” The name of Jesus cannot represent the Godhead. The Father is not Jesus, the Holy Spirit is not Jesus, Jesus is God who became Man, but the Father was still there and the Holy Ghost was still there in the Godhead. These three make up one Divine Being, so you cannot baptize with the human name of Jesus, rather you baptize with the fullness of the Godhead because the Father was involved in the salvation of that sinner, Jesus of course came down for the salvation of that sinner being the Son, and the Holy Spirit was involved in the salvation of the sinner and the three Persons who make one God are in agreement on this matter.
You are submitting the saved man to the Trinity, that is why you baptize them in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. You are showing that the Father was involved in his salvation: Father we commit him to You; the Son was involved in the salvation of that person: Jesus, the Son of God, we commit him unto You; the Holy Spirit was also involved in the salvation of that person: Holy Spirit we commit this person unto You. Note also that the baptism should be by immersion in water; either a pool of water or shallow side of a flowing river for safety. Complete immersion and lifting up symbolizes burial and resurrection with Jesus and formal admission into the body of Christ. Note also that baptism is not by sprinkling of water or for infants.
Thought for the day: If you have not done your water baptism in the right way, redo it to fulfil all righteousness.
Song for the day: Make me ready, make me ready, make me ready O Lord.
Bible reading for the day:
Psalms 132-135; 1 Corinthians 8
