“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.” (Matthew 28:19-20, NKJV) So, you ask, “Why should I be baptized? Well, let’s see what the Word of God says. You can baptize in a baptismal in a church, a swimming pool, a stock tank, a creek, a lake, or a pond. There are various ways to baptize by immersion. They went down in the water and came up out of the water-immersion. And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing.” (Acts 8:38-39, AV) “And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch and he baptized him.

Notice, John baptized in Aenon near Salim, because there was “much water there.” If John was baptizing by pouring or sprinkling, he would not need “much water.”Īlso, notice Philip baptizing the Ethiopian eunuch: And they came and were baptized.” (John 3:22-23, NKJV) Now John also was baptizing in Aenon near Salim, because there was much water there. “After these things Jesus and His disciples came into the land of Judea, and there He remained with them and baptized. However, even if we didn’t have the Greek translation, we could see from the Bible that baptism is an immersion. The word “baptize” is translated from the Greek word “baptizo,” which means to dip, dunk, or immerse.” In fact, Worrell translation of the Bible translates “baptize” as Immerse and translates the phrase “John the Baptist” as “John the Immerser.” It is a totally accurate translation. But we are talking today about water baptism. There are several baptisms mentioned in the Scriptures: baptism into Christ (salvation), baptism in the Holy Spirit, and baptism of fire (persecution). ”And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.“He who believes and is baptized will be saved but he who does not believe will be condemned.” (Mark 16:15-16, NKJV)
