BAPTISM - A COVENANT WITH GOD

In Scripture baptism focus (Mark 16.15-16). This is a necessary condition for salvation. Also refers to the importance of baptism, of the conditions under which it may be, on the form of baptism.

The origin of baptism

The great prophet and Messenger of God, John the Baptist in his time, started to call people to repentance and baptism by full immersion in water (Matt 3.1, 5-6).

Jesus did not need baptism because it had no sin, but was baptized to show us an example (Matthew 3.13-17). "To fulfill all righteousness" means to accomplish what God has commanded to execute people. He therefore, taking an image of a person who made it.

John also explains:

I did not know him; but he came to baptize in water, that it was revealed to Israel.

John 1.31

Jesus himself was baptized during the life of John, although he himself was not baptizing but his disciples (John 4.1-2).

Conditions for the acceptance of baptism

Before the baptism of Jesus ' disciples should he wish to teach people to respect everything that He commanded (Matthew 28.18-20).

The word "everything" includes teachings:

-about repentance of sins

-about being born again

-about obedience to all the commandments of the Lord

Obligatory condition-Vera (Mark 16.16).

People need to believe in God as creator and lovefull of the heavenly father, and faith in Christ as the son of God and personal Savior. It is a living faith, the love of God and neighbor.

Baptism for the sake of form. It must be accompanied by sincere repentance. Observance of the commandments without faith will serve to baptized the condemnation. Therefore, the baptism of infants is wrong.

Peter talked about repentance in his preaching (Acts 2.36-41). Under the influence of preaching Filippa, men and women were baptized (Acts 8.12). But here it says-taking care of the children.

Nowhere in Scripture does not give examples of the baptism of children, because they are not relevant are the conditions specified in the Scriptures. Experience which had Philip and Ethiopian

(Acts 8.35-38) shows the need for a personal confession of faith in personal salvation.

The Scripture does not say anything about vospreemnikah and kumov′âh, responsible for the not-aknowledge of the child. THEREFORE, BAPTIZED WITHOUT FAITH IS NULL AND VOID.

In Ephesus 4.5 refers to the one baptism. "One baptism"-means that it is uniform, different both in form and in spirit. If they baptized adults, who repented, believed-hit people, and someone else baptizes babies, it's not the same baptism. HAVE A FAKE COIN-STILL DO NOT HAVE ANY.

Where said about baptism (Acts 15-16.14-Lydia and her home) does not hold-but that baptized children, to the "home" here does not include children. Also in the Church. 30-33 baptized adults only.

BUT SALVATION EXTENDS TO THE CHILDREN OF BELIEVERS PARENTS.

Otherwise your children would be unclean, but now they are holy.

1 Corinthians 7.14

Save the children is ensured by their innocence. Jesus Christ spoke of them that "such is the Kingdom of heaven" (mark 10.13-16). Also need the blessing of children, and the prayer of the children.

The meaning of baptism

First of all, it is a sign of treatment (1 Pet. 3.21). This means that we are going to live in good conscience, do good regardless of the circumstances in which we find ourselves.

It indicates the death and resurrection of Christ (Col. 2.12). As Christ died and was resurrected, and we die to sin (pogrebaem carnal human) and VOSKRESAEM BOTH BUT MAN-St (spiritual), for a life of good and righteous, by the will of God.

AND TO THIS WE CAN PREPARE ONLY THE BIBLE-THE WORD OF GOD.

By baptism we give God the promise belong to Him and love him, and God accepts us in number of loved children.

So, what are you linger? Rise, baptize and wash thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord Jesus.

22.16 Act

And will you father, and you will be My sons and daugthers, says the Lord Almighty.
