SENT NOT TO BAPTIZE 1 Corinthians 1:17

Men deny need for baptism By emotional appeals “Person killed before being baptized?” Making quibbles “What about the thief on the cross?” Perversion of scriptures 1 Corinthians 1:17 Is Paul saying baptism is unnecessary?

If this means baptism is unnecessary then: Paul contradicts himself Galatians 1:11,12 1 Corinthians 12:13 Ephesians 5:23 Galatians 3:27 cf. Ephesians 1:3; Romans 6:4

If this means baptism is unnecessary then: Paul didn’t practice what he preached Acts 16:30-34 Acts 19:1-5 1 Corinthians 1:15,16 Paul did wrong himself Acts 22:16

What Does It Mean? Emphasizes preaching of the gospel Preachers are to preach 1 Corinthians 9:16 Acts 6:2-4 Can be baptized for wrong reason Acts 2:38, 47 Matters not who baptizes Must be baptized scripturally to be saved

What Must I Do To Be Saved? Hear the gospel (Romans 10:17) Believe Jesus is Christ (Acts 8:37) Repent of your sins (Acts 17:30) Confess your faith (Matthew 10:32) Baptized for remission of sins (Acts 2:38) Be faithful unto death (Revelation 2:10)
