Finalizing our understanding of Baptism.
In these notes, we will ask only 1 question.
Why should you be baptized in water at church?
A. I need to be baptized so I can have eternal life and go to heaven.
B. I need to be baptized because Jesus was baptized.
C. I need to be baptized just to make sure I am saved.
D. I don't need to be baptized to have eternal life, but I am going to be baptized because it will honor God and will show my family and friends that I have believed in Jesus for eternal life.
1 Corinthians 1:17
For Christ did not send me to baptize but to preach the gospel, and not with words of eloquent wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.
The apostle Paul said that he was not sent to baptize. He was sent to preach the gospel. Why? He was sent to preach the gospel instead of baptize because it is the gospel that saves, not baptism. The gospel is the good news that Jesus died on the cross for our sins and rose again, if we believe in Him we are saved.
Romans 1:16
For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.
