The Simple Truth About Salvation

Presentation transcript:

How Necessary Is Baptism? Problem - Baptism often is Over and Under Emphasized a. Some teach it is needed to be saved b. Some teach it isn’t that important Mode of baptism – bapto/baptizo – to dip/place into a.Immersion b.Sprinkling Act 2:38 Then Peter said to them, "Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

John 3:5...unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.’” Acts 2:38:...Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.’” Acts 22:16:...Rise and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on his name.” 1 Corinthians 6:11:...But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.” Titus 3:5: “he saved us, not because of deeds done by us in righteousness, but in virtue of his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal in the Holy Spirit,” 1 Peter 3:19-21:...eight persons, were saved through water. Baptism, which corresponds to this, now saves you, not as a removal of dirt from the body but as an appeal to God for a clear conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,” Mar 16:16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.

Groups that teach baptism Is necessary to be saved: Teach that you must be baptized by their group Teach you must be re-baptized for the remission of sins Teach you must be baptized in Jesus name only They do not teach assurance of salvation, but add works (acts of obedience) to stay saved by keeping the commandments. If what they are saying is true then: Jesus death on the cross and faith in His work isn’t sufficient Salvation is based on Christ’s work and our works You can be saved lost saved lost saved lost on the basis of your personal obedience There are around 1500 positive and negative commands in the New Testament that must be obeyed, the Law only had 683.

Act 2:38 Then Peter said to them, "Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Acts 2:38 isn’t a stand-alone verse Peter quotes from Joel 2:28-32 He declares the giving of the Holy Spirit, Judgment is coming and the necessity to “Call upon the name of the Lord/Jehovah/Yahweh” to be saved. Peter proved by scripture Ps. 116:1-11 and Ps. 110:1 - that Jesus is Messiah and Jehovah – Peter spoke of the death burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ Act 2:36-37 "Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ." (37) Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, "Men and brethren, what shall we do?"

Baptism is never clearly stated as being necessary for salvation. (One would expect to find it emphasized everywhere whenever the gospel is presented in the NT) In Peter’s second sermon he makes no reference to baptism, but links forgiveness of sin to repentance(Acts 3:12-26) Paul never made water baptism any part of his gospel presentations 1Co 1:17 For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect.

A person clearly saved before being baptized. (Acts 10:44-48) Act 10:43-44 To Him all the prophets witness that, through His name, whoever believes in Him will receive remission of sins." (44) While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who heard the word. Act 2:38 Then Peter said to them, "Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Mar 1:15 and saying, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel." Where is the emphasis in Acts 2:38? Luk 24:47 and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

Act 3:19 Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, Act 17:30 Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent, Act 5:30-31 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus whom you murdered by hanging on a tree. (31) Him God has exalted to His right hand to be Prince and Savior, to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins. Act 19:4 Then Paul said, "John indeed baptized with a baptism of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe on Him who would come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus."Act 19:5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. Act 26:20 but declared first to those in Damascus and in Jerusalem, and throughout all the region of Judea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent, turn to God, and do works befitting repentance.

Why Is It Important? Gal 1:6-9 I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, (7) which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ. (8) But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. (9) As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed. Water baptism is not a cause of salvation, but public acknowledgment and confession by the convert that he is a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ and is identified with His death, burial and resurrection.
