  9. Baptism A Closer look at what Baptism is and it’s necessity Created by: Brad Townsend

  10. Definition • Greek Definitions - Bapto: To cover wholly with fluid, to dip Strong's Greek 911 - Baptizo: Ceremonial ablution (washing), to baptize, wash Strong’s Greek 907

  11. Jewish History • Sacramental ceremony for purification and removal of sin • Initiation rite • Required for all Jews in order to preserve state of purity Jn 11:55, Ac 21:24-27 • Required by John the Baptist Mt 3 • Jesus had to be baptized

  12. Is Baptism really necessary to be saved? • Saved eight souls saved by water, even Baptism doth also now save us1Pet 3:20-21 • He that Believeth and is baptized shall be saved Mk 16:16 • Jesus said except a man be born of water and spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of GodJn 3:5 • He commanded them to be baptized in the name of the LordAc 10:48 • Arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord Ac 22:16 • For as many of you have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ Ga 3:27

  13. Formula for Success • Historically a formula for baptism has always been required for Christian initiation • Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy GhostAc 2:38 • Referred to as the “Christological Formula” • Numerous references in the scriptures support calling on the name of Jesus when baptizing • Jesus gave Peter the keys to the kingdom of God, and this is the formula he recited when asked • Baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost Mt 28:19 • Referred to as the “Triune Formula” • Developed as a Baptismal formula in response to the fourth and fifth century controversies over the nature of God

  14. What’s in a name? • Why do we Baptize in the name of Jesus? • We are commanded toAc 2:38, Ac 4:12, Ac 22:16 • Remission of sins are found in his name Ac 2:38, 1Pet 3:20 • Jesus’ name holds all the power • We heal and do miracles in his name Ac 3:6 • Do not take thy Lords name in Vain Ex 20:7 • The name above every name Phil 2:9-10 • That is who we are “initiated” intoGa 3:27-29 • His people are called by HIS name2Chr 7:14

  15. Scriptural Examples • Because of the name of Jesus Christ Ac 2:38 • Some manuscripts have “In” rather than because, but theologians believe “In” is the inferior reading. • Into the name of the Lord Jesus Ac 8:16, 19:5 • In the name of Jesus Christ Ac 10:48 • Baptized into the name of Paul? 1 Cor 1:13 • Paul pointing out the importance of name in baptism • You are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ 1 Cor 6:11

  16. Water? Spirit? Or Both? • BOTH! • I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost Mk 1:8 • Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God Jn3:5 • Ye are justified in the name of Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God1 Cor 6:11 • Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his Rom 8:9 • Christ In youCol 1:27

  17. Takeaway Points • Baptism means to cover wholly, dip • Initiation rite, without which Jews were not allowed into the Temple • Necessary for Salvation, identifies us with our savior Jesus • The Baptismal formula may differ in construct, but the name of Jesus must be included • Water and Spirit baptism equal new birth experience
