*Proper baptism and Unity with righteous are both essential*
-Eddy Joel Silsbee
Greetings to you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ who pardoned our sins through Baptism.
To change religion;
Or to marry in another church;
Or To become a member of another church;
Or To improve one's own caste;
Or that you have studied the scriptures for many years and now can take it;
Or To work as a pastor;
Or that God called directly;
Or attending another church for few weeks and get baptized to go back to the old unity;
- the Scripture *does not say such, about baptism* !!
*Following are the list of few benefits while obeying in Baptism*:
-We are buried with Christ
-Baptized into Christ
-Coming out with Christ – Rom 6:4
- We reborn as a new generation/ new birth (John 3:3-5, Titus 3:5)
- sins committed up to that moment is forgiven. Mark 1:4, Luke 3:3, Acts 2:38, Acts 22:16, Col. 2:13
- Receiving the Gift of The Holy Spirit (Acts 2:38, Acts 9:17-18, 1 Cor. 12:12-13)
- Put on Christ - new man (Gal. 3:27, Eph. 4:24, Col. 3:10)
- Put off the ex-inner old man (Rom. 6:6, Eph. 4:22*, Col 3:9)
- United with Christ (Rom. 6:5)
- Sanctified and set apart (Eph. 5:26)
- new changed life after baptism (Rom. 6:4,6, Eph. 4:22-24)
- Circumcision of the heart (Col. 2:11)
- Become servants of righteousness, and God (Rom.6:17-18,22)
- Saved to receive eternal complete salvation- 1 Pet. 3:21
Among the events we find in Scripture, for example, Paul, Cornelius, Lydia, the prison officer, Simeon, and 3,000 others all were *baptized immediately, even at midnight*..
How can a father tolerate in answering prayers of those who are reluctant to admit the grievous death of His own Son in spite they constantly hear The Truth?
Not something for obligatory;
But Take baptism *for the remission of sins*; and in the same way we must live as Christians, associating with those who are *united in the body of Christ* and those who commemorate Christ's death weekly. 1Cor. 1: 9; 10:16, 20; 2Cor. 6:14; Phil. 2: 1-2; 1John 1: 3, 6
Be baptized according to the scriptures to obey Sovereign God immediately.
