  2. Matthew 28:19Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. What Baptism is: Baptism is applying water in any manner (washing, pouring, sprinkling, immersing) in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

  3. The Blessings of Baptism Through baptism God’s Holy Spirit gives: Acts 22:16 Titus 3:5 A. Forgiveness of sins B. A new birth John 3:5 Jesus answered, “I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit.” I Peter 3:21 C. Salvation

  4. Matthew 28:19 2. What gives baptism its power is the Word of God (baptizing in the name of the Triune God), his command and promise.

  5. Who is Baptism For? Matthew 28:19 1. For “all nations” which includes infants and children. A. They are born sinful and need to be born again John 3:5-6 Psalm 51:5 Galatians 3:26-27 You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. B. They need to become God’s children by personal faith

  8. SPONSORS • A fine church custom, but not commanded by God or necessary. • What sponsors do: • Witness the baptism • Promise to help with the child’s Christian training, especially if the parents die. • Should be Christians who believe as the parents do. 3. An option: the use of “Witnesses” only

  9. Further Questions • Who may perform a Christian baptism? Any Christian. 2. What is the fate of the unbaptized? Mark 16:15-16 Only unbelief damns; the rejection, not just the absence of baptism, is the greatest sin. 3. How often do we need to be baptized? Isaiah 54:10 Only once
