SCRIPTURAL WATER BAPTISM

God bless you for taking the time to study.

TOPIC: SCRIPTURAL WATER BAPTISM

TEXT: MARK 16: 15-18 

WEDNESDAY MAY 24th 

Key Verse: Matthew 28: 19, ‘Go ye therefore and teach all nation, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.’ 
The church, the leaders, and the new believer need to know very important facts concerning water baptism.
1. Water baptism is an emblem in the physical showing, (an outward act) that a person has now repented and has accepted a change of faith or belief. This was evident in the time of the Pharisees as a practice of Judaism. 
2. John the Baptist, was asked by God, to baptize those who have repented to follow God (Baptism of John), yet the baptism of Jesus had not yet come.
3. Jesus also baptized those who believed in Him.
4. Paul had a similar activity according to 1 Corinthians 1:14.
5. Water baptism is not salvation. Water Baptism does not make anyone born again. It is a sign/emblem that they had become born again.
6. Water stands for the word of God according to Ezekiel 36: 25; Psalms 119: 9; John 15: 3; 1 Peter 1: 23; John 3:5. 
7. Water baptism follows faith and repentance in Christ, so infants who do not understand should not be baptized. 
8. Water baptism must be carried out without delay.
9. Water baptism is by one immersion into the water once; not three times. (John 3: 22-23; Luke 3:3; Matthew 3: 14-16).
10.  Water baptism is in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost… Jesus said it after his death; His words are yea and amen. 
What does it mean to baptize in the name of Jesus? Acts 8: 14-17, Matt. 21: 23, By what authority doest thou these things? The apostles were baptizing in the authority of Jesus, not in a mode or formula. The formula is ‘in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost.’ Because the Trinity played roles in the baptism: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.

Thought for the day: Are you baptized scripturally?

Song for the day: Born, born, born again; thank God I am born again

Bible reading for the day: 1 Chronicles 11-13; John 9:1-23

For taking your time to study remain blessed. UNDERSTANDING ETERNITY WEDNESDAY MAY 10 TEXT: Psalm 90: 1 - 2 Key Verse: “The Lord is King forever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land Psalm 10:16 People that understand eternity are always careful. Eternity means forever and ever, it means ever-lasting, ever-living, never dying. Trillion upon trillion years, eternity is still on, in fact it is life without end. There are two extreme ends of eternity: The kingdom of God called third heaven where God the Father, God the son, God the Holy Ghost, twenty-four elders, saints of God that make heaven, holy angels of God, and entire host of heaven dwell now presently; Hell-fire, where Satan, demons, and sinners that have died in their sins are presently kept. God is the One that introduced eternity. He lives forever. It is not a choice, the One who created us is forever, hence you will live forever, but what matters is where you will live eternally. Remove God from the way, then t...

Pastor Paul Rika’s Burden, Vision and Action To Reach the Unreached (2)

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies. Pastor Paul Rika’s Burden, Vision and Action To Reach the Unreached (2) Wednesday 15th October TEXT: Titus 3: 3-6   Key verse: Titus 3: 6 “Which He shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior.” I remember I was in Sao Tome and Principe as a deeper life national overseer and I was writing the book, “Divine Revelation of God’s Holiness and Judgment.” The vision the Lord gave to Michael Sambo. I was translating it into a book, with the scriptural backups to make it a sound evangelistic book. I saw that truly the world is doomed. What will I say about those who have not known Jesus among the 7 billion people on earth; those who do not even have anything to do with Him? Do I speak of the billions in Asia without understanding of Jesus? Out of the 1.4 billion in India, they are struggling to record 150 million Christians including Catholics.  Who knows Jesus then? Even among Pentecosta...
