Here is the thought that came to me: вЂњIf Jesus was willing to go to the cross and suffer a horrible death for our sins, and take upon Him the sins of the world, shouldnвЂ™t we be willing to obey His simple command to be baptized?вЂќ Think about it! When I was praying about sharing this message, I went to the Lord in prayer and asked Him, вЂњWhat is the main thing on your heart concerning this message. He did not say, вЂњBe baptized if itвЂ™s okay with your relatives. But if you are not willing to do the first thing that he said for you to do, you are not really allowing Him to be Lord. Life with God begins with making Jesus Lord. вЂњBut why do you call Me вЂLord, Lord,вЂ™ and do not do the things which I say?вЂќ (Luke 6:46, NKJV) вЂњGo therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.вЂќ Amen.вЂќ (Matthew 28:19-20, NKJV) So, you ask, вЂњWhy should I be baptized? Well, letвЂ™s see what the Word of God says. You can baptize in a baptismal in a church, a swimming pool, a stock tank, a creek, a lake, or a pond. There are various ways to baptize by immersion. They went down in the water and came up out of the water-immersion. And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing.вЂќ (Acts 8:38-39, AV) вЂњAnd he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch and he baptized him. Notice, John baptized in Aenon near Salim, because there was вЂњmuch water there.вЂќ If John was baptizing by pouring or sprinkling, he would not need вЂњmuch water.вЂќДЄlso, notice Philip baptizing the Ethiopian eunuch: And they came and were baptized.вЂќ (John 3:22-23, NKJV)

Now John also was baptizing in Aenon near Salim, because there was much water there. вЂњAfter these things Jesus and His disciples came into the land of Judea, and there He remained with them and baptized. However, even if we didnвЂ™t have the Greek translation, we could see from the Bible that baptism is an immersion. The word вЂњbaptizeвЂќ is translated from the Greek word вЂњbaptizo,вЂќ which means to dip, dunk, or immerse.вЂќ In fact, Worrell translation of the Bible translates вЂњbaptizeвЂќ as Immerse and translates the phrase вЂњJohn the BaptistвЂќ as вЂњJohn the Immerser.вЂќ It is a totally accurate translation. But we are talking today about water baptism. There are several baptisms mentioned in the Scriptures: baptism into Christ (salvation), baptism in the Holy Spirit, and baptism of fire (persecution). вЂќAnd He said to them, вЂњGo into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.вЂњHe who believes and is baptized will be saved but he who does not believe will be condemned.вЂќ (Mark 16:15-16, NKJV) Great for individual or group study.Subscribe: Google Podcasts | Email | RSS | More Study Guide: Why Should I Be Baptized?
