O ‘the immersion of believers on profession
of their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and a symbol of their identification
with him in his death, burial and resurrection.’
What do you know about baptism?
Why should a person be baptised?
Before he returned to heaven Our Lord gave
a command to his disciples - "Go and make disciples of all nations,
baptising them in the name of the father and of the Son and of the Holy
Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you."
(Matthew 28:19,20)
This was a divine order (so we call "baptism"
an "ordinance") and as we read through the Acts of the Apostles
we can see how carefully this order was obeyed by the early church. Acts
2:38 and 41 is just the first of many examples.
- We baptise because the Lord Jesus Christ
commanded it.
