REPENT Sin is deadly to the soul its wages are death (Romans 6:23) Unless you repent, you will also perish´ (Luke 13:3) You turned to God from idols to serve a living and true God´ (1 Thessalonians 1:9)
REPENT When you repent, you change the direction you are going and go the opposite way. When you repent, you stop sinning and start doing what is right. Ephesians 4:25
BE IMMERSED “Unless one is born of the water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.” (John 3:5) “Baptizing them in the Name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.” (Mathew 28:19) “He who believes and is baptized shall be saved.” (Mark 16:16)
Born of WATER and THE SPIRIT Baptizo = to dip, plunge, immerse in water A person who believes in Jesus and repents of sin and confesses is baptized
Born of WATER and THE SPIRIT Born Again =Born from Above =Regeneration = New Life This occurs at baptism when faith accepts the promise of God
Born of WATER and THE SPIRIT BAPTISM Can be compared to a birth (John 3:5) Can be compared to a bath (Acts 22:16) Can be compared to a burial (Romans 6:4)

Into -Eis -Baptism changes our state or position from whatever it was before. It transfers us out of sin and into salvation. Where is salvation? In Christ. How do we get into Christ? Through Baptism. Nothing could be plainer.
Into -Eis always meant “in a direction toward and right on into the object for which it was headed.” It invariably had that same meaning in every instance.
