3. “The Scriptures Teach That Water Baptism Is Essential To Gospel Obedience In Order To Receive Remission Of Sins.”

4. “The Scriptures” The Bible, God’s Inspired Word
The 39 Books of the Old Testament
The 27 Books of the New Testament
II Timothy 3:16,17 “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: (17) That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

5. “Teach” Imparts information educating us
Instructs (& authorizes) by command, example, and implication
Cannot decide by emotionalism, family ties, creeds, majority vote, etc.
What does God’s Word tell us?
We will have to stay out of sick beds, the battlefields, the deserts, and hypothetical cases because, after all, “The Scriptures Teach”…

6. “Water Baptism”
To Dip, plunge, immerse, submerge in the element of water
The baptism of the commission of Jesus Christ, Matthew 28:19,20 “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: (20) Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.”

7. “Gospel Obedience”
Hebrews 5:8-9 – Jesus is “the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him”
II Thess.1:7-9 “taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: (9) Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;”

8. “in order to receive remission of sins”
One promised blessing of obeying the Lord’s gospel plan is the remission of or forgiveness of past sins.
Acts 2:38; Mark 16:15-16

9. What The Question/ Issue Is Not:
Whether or not one is saved by faith
Whether or not one is saved by the blood of Christ
Whether or not one is saved by God’s grace
Whether or not one is saved by baptism alone
Whether or not one is saved by works of merit
Whether or not one is saved by water

10. What The Question / Issue Is
Is water baptism essential to salvation?
When or at what point is one saved by faith?
When or at what point is the blood of Christ applied to the sinner?

11. If Baptism If Baptism Is Is Essential Not Essential individual not
Then any accountable
individual not
baptized is now lost

it is not essential
are false teachers!
If Baptism Is
Not Essential
Those who teach it

binding where God
has not bound &
are false teachers!

(11) For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.”

63. (12) Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ. (13) Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul? (14) I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius;”

64. (15) Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name
(15) Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name. (16) And I baptized also the household of Stephanas: besides, I know not whether I baptized any other.
