Matthew 22:1-14;  Wearing the wrong clothes

A Question for Thought:  What is the most common phrase in the New Testament to describe a saved person?

Galatians 3:26-28; 26 So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith, 27 for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

A Question for Thought:  What is the most common phrase in the New Testament to describe a saved person? In Christ Jesus 2 Cor 5:17, Eph 1:13, Eph 2:13, 1 Pet 5:14, many more.

In Christ Jesus  Romans 6:1-7;  The man had not been buried with Christ.  The man had not been united with Christ in his resurrection.  The man had not been freed from sin.

Another Question:  How does one get into Christ? Answer: Baptism!!! Nothing else in the entire NT is connected with getting into Christ except baptism. Pray into Christ? Believe into Christ? Repent into Christ?

A Trick Question:  Are we saved by baptism? Answer: yes and no 1 Peter 3:21-22; Illustration: A child in a burning building.

An Easy Question:  Is baptism how we are saved? NO!!!!!  Colossians 2:9-15; We are saved by the blood of Christ, by the grace of Christ, through our faith, buried in baptism & raised through faith  Romans 3:21-16 …through faith in his blood.  Rev 7:13-14 Clothes washed in the blood of the lamb

So What Is Baptism Biblically?  It is when we are saved. It is when we get into Christ.  Illustration: Marriage  What if you weren’t married?  What if you weren’t baptized?

Acts 22:6-16  When were Paul’s clothes washed?  When he believed? v. 8  When he repented? v. 9  When he declared Jesus Lord? v.10  When he obeyed? v. 11  When he was baptized!

Who Is the Man at the Banquet?  Matthew 22:11; He is anyone who thinks they are saved but are not.  He is a good percentage of everyone we meet!!!!  Is your struggle with whether the message is true, or with sentimentality?

What Should We Do?  What would you do if there were some people in a burning building?  We can’t be sentimental about this.  God is the judge & we are judged by His Words - John 12:47-50;

A Ridiculously Brief History of Baptism  Epistle of Barnabas AD 110  We indeed descend into the water full of sins and defilement. However, we come up, bearing fruit in our heart…  Shepherd of Hermas AD 95  The seal, then, is the water. They descend into the water dead, and they arise alive.  Irenaeus of Lyon AD 185  This class of men have been instigated by Satan to denial of that baptism which is regeneration to God. Thus they have renounced the whole faith.  Tertullian of Carthage AD 205  Without baptism salvation is attainable by no one.

History of Baptism (cont.)  2 nd Century: Catachumens  Mid 4th century infant baptism practiced by some, but not generally accepted (Cyprian)  Late 4 th century infant baptism encouraged (Augustine)  Augustine made baptism more than it was (a sacrament with power in and of itself, not requiring faith on the part of the believer)  After AD 1000 sprinkling became a common practice

History of Baptism (cont.)  1500’s Luther, Zwingli and Calvin reject the Catholic idea of sacrament. Faith alone salvation.  Result: Baptism not absolutely necessary?  1800’s Happy Predestination and the sinner’s prayer. Salvation became completely disconnected from baptism.

The Sinner’s Prayer  Never mentioned anywhere before the 19 th century in the US.  Even evangelicals will admit that this was not taught in the early church..  Evangelicals as slowly coming around on the Sinner’s prayer (Francis Chan, David Platt, etc.: watch video clips)
