8 Bible Baptism Can Put You Into Christ “For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ” (Galatians 3:26, 27) Outside Christ “IN CHRIST”

“Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death?” (Romans 6:3) Bible Baptism Can Put You in Contact With The Blood of Christ “Into Death” Christ shed His blood in His death John 19:33, 34

10 Bible Baptism Can Put You Into The “One Body” “One Body” “Church” Colossians 1:18, 24 “For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ. For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body...” (1 Corinthians 12:12, 13)

11 Bible Baptism Saves the Soul Places you in Christ where salvation is (2 Timothy 2:10) Places you into Christ’s death where His saving blood was shed (John 19:33, 34) Washes away sin (Acts 22:16) Sets free from sin (Romans 6:17, 18)

12 Turning point from sin to salvation, Acts 2:38; 3:19 (22:16) – Convert yourself, Acts 3:19 (9:35; 11:21) – Action of obedient faith, James 2:18, 24 – Sinner’s obedient response to the gospel, Acts 2:40, 1 Thessalonians 1:9 (Acts 17:4; 2:40-41) Turning point from sin to salvation, Acts 2:38; 3:19 (22:16) – Convert yourself, Acts 3:19 (9:35; 11:21) – Action of obedient faith, James 2:18, 24 – Sinner’s obedient response to the gospel, Acts 2:40, 1 Thessalonians 1:9 (Acts 17:4; 2:40-41) Bible Baptism Saves the Soul

13 BAPTISM SAVES US “There is also an antitype which now saves us—baptism (not the removal of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God), through the resurrection of Jesus Christ” 1 Peter 3:21 Baptism Saves Baptism is something done “toward God” Baptism is an answer of a good conscience Baptism has nothing to do with a physical cleansing

14 BAPTISM SAVES US “There is also an antitype which now saves us—baptism (not the removal of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God), through the resurrection of Jesus Christ” 1 Peter 3:21, Baptism Saves Baptism is something done “toward God” Baptism is an answer of a good conscience Baptism has nothing to do with a physical cleansing

15 The Power In Baptism Is Not The Water, But Through The Resurrection! To contend that baptism is not necessary is to cast insult upon the resurrection! Bible Baptism Saves the Soul “There is also an antitype which now saves us—baptism (not the removal of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God), through the resurrection of Jesus Christ” 1 Peter 3:21

16 We are forgiven of our sins (Acts 2:38). We are put into Christ (Acts 2:38; Gal. 3:27; Romans 6:1-6) and his body (I Corinthians 12:13). We call on the name of the Lord and our sins are washed away (Acts 22:16). Therefore, at baptism… We are saved through an appeal to God for a good conscience (by our obedience to what God has asked of us we then have a good conscience) through the cleansing blood of Jesus and the resurrection of Jesus from the dead (I Peter 3:21).

17 An appeal of a good conscience toward God, 1 Peter 3:21 We appeal to God for salvation Blood cleanses our conscience, Hebrews 9:14 Blood is contacted in baptism, Romans 6:3 Boldly enter God’s presence, Hebrews 10:19, 22 Without baptism the appeal to come before God & be saved is denied! An appeal of a good conscience toward God, 1 Peter 3:21 We appeal to God for salvation Blood cleanses our conscience, Hebrews 9:14 Blood is contacted in baptism, Romans 6:3 Boldly enter God’s presence, Hebrews 10:19, 22 Without baptism the appeal to come before God & be saved is denied! Therefore, our baptism is…

18 We “put on Christ” (Galatians 3:27). We are “buried with Christ” and “baptized into His death” and rise to live a new life (Romans 6:2-4). This must be the time when Jesus’ blood covers our sins (note how it is through the blood of Christ that we have redemption in Ephesians 1:7 and Matthew 26:28; Therefore, at baptism…

19 We are “united” or “grown together” or become “at one with” (sumphutos) Christ and our old self is crucified with him (Romans 6:5).

20 We are buried with Him, we were spiritually circumcised, we put off the old nature which was offensive to God, and we were raised with Him through our faith in the power of God, were made alive with Christ and forgiven our sins (Colossians 2:11-13). We are no longer offensive to God after baptism.

21 Therefore, at baptism… Baptized into death of Christ, Romans 6:3 – We obtain the benefits of His death Romans 5:8-10 By His blood we are… – Justified – Saved from wrath – Reconciled to God

22 Baptized into death to sin, Romans 6:4-7 One dies to sin – Body of sin is done away, 6:6-7 (Colossians 2: 11-12) – Dead to sin & alive unto God (6:11) When we “died with Christ” (6:8) When “baptized into death” (6:4-5) – Newness of life after baptism, 6:4 Baptized into death to sin, Romans 6:4-7 One dies to sin – Body of sin is done away, 6:6-7 (Colossians 2: 11-12) – Dead to sin & alive unto God (6:11) When we “died with Christ” (6:8) When “baptized into death” (6:4-5) – Newness of life after baptism, 6:4

23 We are given the promise that we will live with Him: “Now if we died with Christ we will also live with Him” (Romans 6:8). Hence we are assured of our own resurrection in the future. Therefore, at baptism…

24 We are born again (born from above), John 3:3-5. We receive the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:38) who renews us and saves us through His “sanctifying work” (2 Thessalonians 2:13).

25 We are Baptized into one body, the church, 1 Corinthians 12:12-13 – Added together, Acts 2:41 – Added by the Lord, Acts 2:47 – Added by obeying the Spirit’s command to be baptized, 1 Corinthians 12:12-13 We are Baptized into one body, the church, 1 Corinthians 12:12-13 – Added together, Acts 2:41 – Added by the Lord, Acts 2:47 – Added by obeying the Spirit’s command to be baptized, 1 Corinthians 12:12-13 Therefore, at baptism…
