When we are baptised we are:
A. Buried with Christ into His death - Ro 6:3-4
B. Raised with Him to newness of life - Ro 6:4-5
C. Crucified with Him, thus made free from sin - Ro 6:6-7,17-18
D. Clothed with Christ - Ga 3:27
E. Washed from our sins - Ac 22:16
F. Recipients of the remission of sins - Ac 2:38
G. Baptized into the body (church) of Christ - 1 Co 12:13
Some Christians don't believe that we have to be baptised but don't you know that baptism is a symbol of death, burial and resurrection in Jesus? When we go down in the water, that symbolizes your Burial, (Immersion fully), When someone is buried they are not sprinkled with water, they are fully covered, When we come up from the Water, it symbolizes Resurrection, the day we will rise to Gods glory.
If we aren't baptised, then we are not obeying Gods command.
Jesus said "If you love me, you will keep my commandments". Baptism is not an outward sign to others, its a comittment to God.
What do you say?
