  1. Foundations of our Faith The Ordinance of Baptism

  2. What baptism is not: • It isn’t salvation. • It isn’t required for salvation.

  3. Romans 10:8-13 This is the message of faith that we proclaim: 9if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heartthat God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10With the heart one believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth one confesses, resulting in salvation. 11Now the Scripture says, No one who believes on Him will be put to shame, 12for there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, since the same Lord of all is rich to all who call on Him. 13For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.

  4. What baptism is not: • It isn’t salvation. • It isn’t required for salvation. • It doesn’t impart grace.

  5. Ephesians 2:8,9 8For by grace you are saved through faith, and this is not from yourselves; it is God’s gift— 9not from works, so that no one can boast.

  6. What baptism is: • It is an act of obedience to God’s command. Acts 2:38 38"Repent," Peter said to them, "and be baptized, each of you, in the name of Jesus the Messiah for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

  7. What baptism is: • It symbolizes Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection.

  8. Romans 6:3-7 3Or are you unaware that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? 4Therefore we were buried with Him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we too may walk in a new way of life. 5For if we have been joined with Him in the likeness of His death, we will certainly also be in the likeness of His resurrection. 6For we know that our old self was crucified with Him in order that sin’s dominion over the body may be abolished, so that we may no longer be enslaved to sin, 7since a person who has died is freedfrom sin’s claims.

  9. What baptism is: • It is a profession that you have faith in the buried and resurrected Christ, and that you have been buried with Christ and raised to live a new life.

  10. Romans 6:3-7 3Or are you unaware that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? 4Therefore we were buried with Him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we too may walk in a new way of life. 5For if we have been joined with Him in the likeness of His death, we will certainly also be in the likeness of His resurrection. 6For we know that our old self was crucified with Him in order that sin’s dominion over the body may be abolished, so that we may no longer be enslaved to sin, 7since a person who has died is freed from sin’s claims.

  11. What baptism is: • It should take place after salvation as a public profession of your salvation.
