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

The Source Of Faith

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. The Source Of Faith  Tuesday 18th March Text: Romans 1:16-17 Key Verse: So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Romans 10:17 What is the foundation for our faith? The faith of the just man has the following sources, from where it gets its inspiration. The Word Of God: The foundation of the faith of the just, is the word of God.  The word of God is the production room of the faith which the just exercises. The faith of the just has its foundation in what God has said in His word.  Faith seeks for what God has said to stand upon.  Have you seen the promises of God for you, from the word? Have you seen God's message for you, in the scriptures?  Believe it absolutely, and it shall surely come to pass. This will enhance your faith for subsequent needs of your life. “God is not a man, that He should lie; neither the son of man, that He should repent: hath He said, ...
