SCRIPTURAL PATTERN OF WATER BAPTISM

God bless you for taking your time to study.

SCRIPTURAL PATTERN OF WATER BAPTISM 

TEXT: ACTS 8:26-38 

 FRIDAY DECEMBER 23rd 

Key verse: Mark 16:16-He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. 
Water baptism is by single immersion. The word, ‘baptism’ means buried. It means you died and are buried with Christ and as you rise up from the water, you are rising with Christ to newness of life. This is symbolic; that you are identified with Jesus. Only those who have believed the gospel of Christ should be baptized. It is not for children. If you baptize them it has no meaning. Somebody who does not believe cannot be baptized. You may argue that you want them to serve God later. Pray for them and wait till they believe the gospel else there is nothing you can do about it. Do not baptize infants and children because you will confuse them. 
Now look at this evil doctrine as it plays out. When the infants grow up afterward, rather than teaching them the word of salvation to receive Christ so that they can believe and be properly baptized, they rather go for confirmation. These are the doctrines of devils that confuse people and lead them to damnation. Which scripture do you refer to? These are traditions and doctrines of men that have no light in them. Some get born again later and rather than submit to proper baptism, they argue that they were baptized as children. Did you know Jesus then? Were you convicted of your sins? That is not scriptural baptism.
If you are now born again, go and be baptized and do not respect the errors of your churches and ministers. Save your lives. The Lord is not going to judge you based on the name of your church but His judgment will be according to His word. Proud persons shall be rejected. If you are proud, you are rejected by God already. God is a humble Person, and He is teaching you humility that you should humble yourself and be saved. That is the word of God and the teaching of righteousness.

Thought for the day: Water baptism is for born again converts

Song for the day: I am ready to obey Your word (3x)

Bible reading for the day: Habakkuk; Revelation 14

Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern Text: Mark 16: 17 – 20 Wednesday May 8th Key verse: Obadiah 17 “Upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.” God has prepared to direct us on holy service unto Himself. He tells us when the lives and services of people are corrupt because from the heart of men proceed the works they do. When people are righteous and holy, their service is also righteous and holy. Hence, the word says, make the people holy then their service will be holy, so if you accept to live a life of holiness, then the fruit of your service will be holy. So, it is very important to accept the life of holiness because the God that made you is holy; He will give you grace to be holy. You just make up your mind to be holy. Do not accept that no man can be holy; then Jesus came for nothing, Jes...

God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider  Sunday May 12th Text: Jeremiah 3: 15 – 17 Key verse: Ezekiel 33: 11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel.  Receive the word that will change you, restore you, reestablish you and give you back the hope of eternal life. Come back! The Lord is pleading. Can you see the effort of God in your life? And can you see madness in your life; resisting every effort God is making. God is calling you. Retrace your ways. Follow the good old way. Go and confess those things, do not keep them. Your problem is, you want to serve God but you have not confessed your sins openly because of shame, fear and  pride which shall be dissolved in hell. That is where your problem is. Yes, you wa...
