The One Baptism

---

Baptism that goes with faith in Jesus as Lord obviously is baptism in the Name of Jesus Mt. 28:18-20 cf Acts 2:38

Peter replied, "Repent and be baptised, every one of you,
in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins.
And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Acts 2:38

Once Jesus was reigning as Lord, even John's baptism was not acceptable (Acts 19:3-5) Note Paul's use of irony in 1 Cor. 1:10-17 where he appeals to the one baptism.

How?... Water and Spirit: Jn. 3:5

• Any baptism that leaves out the spirit cannot be the one. Acts19:3-5; Gal. 3:26-4:7
• Any baptism that leaves out water cannot be the one cf. Acts 8:36; 10:47,48;
• If we do our earthly part (water) He will do His heavenly part (spirit)

Why? In Order To Remit Sins and Bestow Spirit

Acts 2:38; 22:16; 1 Pet 3:21; 1 Cor. 12:13

When? Immediately

At that hour of the night the jailer took them and washed
their wounds; then immediately he and all his family
were baptized. Acts 16:33
