Ephesians 4:5
The Bible teaches of ONE baptism that is effective and necessary (Ephesians 4:5). We need to ask if we have received the proper baptism!
THE ONE BAPTISM IS AN IMMERSION It is a burial – Colossians 2:12, 13 Sprinkling and pouring do not meet the requirements of a burial.
THE ONE BAPTISM IS IN WATER Water baptism is the only baptism that is commanded – Acts 10:47, 48; Mark 16:16 Baptism of the Holy Spirit was never commanded.
THE ONE BAPTISM IS FOR THE REMISSION OF SINS Water baptism is the only baptism that is commanded – Acts 10:47, 48; Mark 16:16 “Baptism does not ‘save you,’ only your faith in Christ saves you.” (Southern Baptist Convention)
THE ONE BAPTISM ADDS YOU TO THE ONE CHURCH Those who were baptized were saved, and added to the church – Acts 2:41, 47 Denominationalism is against the plea of the Bible – 1 Corinthians 1:10
“He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.” Mark 16:16
