2. Acts19:1-5

3. What Exactly Is Baptism? Baptizo – “to immerse, submerge; to make whelmed (i.e. fully wet).” Bapto – “to whelm, i.e. cover wholly with a fluid”

4. Consider The Goodness & Severity of God Bapto Luke 16:24 “dip the tip of his finger in water” John 13:26 “”dipped the bread” Revelation 19:13 “robe dipped in blood”

5. Romans 6:4 “Buried with Him through baptism” Colossians 2:12 1 Corinthians 10:1,2 Exodus 14:22 John 3:23

6. “Why would it matter to God if a person is Immersed or Sprinkled?” Nadab & Abihu Departed From God’s Pattern & Lost their Lives- Leviticus 10:1-3 Naaman had to comply with God’s Command- 2Kings 5:10

7. “What makes Immersion better than Sprinkling or Pouring?” God said “IMMERSE” Not “Sprinkle or Pour”

9. Immersion is an Ordinance Received From God Sprinkling or Pouring is NOT!

10. Consider The Goodness & Severity of God Acts 19:1-5 Why did they have to be immersed “in the name of Jesus?” Not only do I have to be IMMERSED, I have to be IMMERSED for the RIGHT REASON!

11. Baptism {i.e. Immersion} is Only Effective Because God Authorized it.

12. “You mean that an Adult who is Baptized only because it is a “Custom” of his congregation is NOT `Scripturally’ Baptized?” That Is Correct

13. “But Apollos was NOT Baptized!” Acts 10:24-28 The Scriptures don’t say one way or the other!

14. “Do you mean that someone has to know EVERYTHING about God’s Word in order to be Scripturally Baptized? God has authorized & commanded “in the name of Jesus” All Other Immersions in Water are NOT ACCEPTABLE

15. Consider The Goodness & Severity of God How Do You Know That? Ephesians 4:3-6 “ONE BAPTISM” Only ONE BAPTISM is acceptable to God

16. What Makes A Baptism Acceptable? Mark 16:15,16 Acts 8:37 Acts 2:38 Romans 10:9,10

17. What Are YOU Waiting For? Acts 22:16 NKJV 'And now why are you waiting? Arise and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord.'
