LESSON TWELVE(Why should I
be Baptized) Everyone that professes to be a Christian should want to follow all God’s commandments. “And hereby we do know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments.” (I John 2:3). Listened below are some simple commandments of God’s that needs to be followed by every born-again Christian. When should we be baptized ? Please read: 1. When you repent of your sins. (Acts 2:38). 2. During the day time (Acts 8:35-38). 3. Any time (Acts 16:14-15). 4. At Midnight (Acts 16:25-33). Who should be baptized ? 1. “ Then they _________________were baptized. (Acts 2:41) 2. “ Then ______________from Galilee to Jordan to be baptized of him.” (Matt. 3:13). Why should you be baptized ? 1. It shows a picture of death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus (Rom. 6:3-5). 2. To fulfill all righteousness (Matt. 3:15). 3. Because our Savior was (Matt. 3:16). Only baptism by immersion pictures the death, burial and resurrection of Christ. If you refuse to be baptized (by immersion you are disobedient to God). James 4:17 says, “Therefore to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.”
