Acts 22:16 (CSB)
Following Jesus in believer’s baptism allows us to publicly show the whole world what Jesus has done in our lives.
1. To follow the example set by Christ.
(Mark 1:9)
2. Because Christ commands it.
(Matthew 28:19-20)
3. To demonstrate that we are believers.
(Acts 18:8; 1 John 2:3)
1. It illustrates Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection.
(1 Corinthians 15:3-4; Colossians 2:12)
2. It illustrates our new life as Christians.
(2 Corinthians 5:17; Romans 6:4)
It's important to note that baptism doesn't save you, only your faith in Christ does that (Ephesians 2:8-9). Baptism is just an outward expression of your faith in Jesus Christ.
1. Jesus was baptized that way.
(Matthew 3:16)
2. Every baptism in the Bible was by immersion.
(Acts 8:38-39)
3. The word “baptize” comes from the Greek word “baptizo”, which means “to immerse or dip under water”.
You should be baptized when you have believed.
(Acts 2:41; Acts 8:35-38)
