1. 1 Peter 3:18-22

4.  Baptism is closely connected with the remission of sins & salvation. › “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit” (Acts 2:38). › “Arise and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord” (Acts 22:16).

6.  You need to be baptized. › Pentecost. › Every conversion in Acts.  Ethiopian eunuch.  “Many of the Corinthians, hearing, believed and were baptized” (Acts 18:8). › No scenario changes Scripture.  “Forever, O L ORD, your word is firmly fixed in the heavens” (Ps 119:89, ESV).

7.  You need to be baptized by immersion. › Greek “I baptize” means “I immerse.” › Scripture:  “John also was baptizing in Aenon near Salim, because there was much water there” (Jn 3:23).  Rom 3-4.  Philip and the eunuch “went down into the water” and “came up out of the water” (Acts 8:38-39).

8.  You need to be baptized for the remission of sins. › “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins” (Acts 2:38). › What if your baptism was not for the remission of sins?  Acts 19:1-5.
