INTRODUCTION:
A- Baptism is one of the most misunderstood things that we do as a church.
1- Baptism does not save.
2- Baptism does not secure the Holy Spirit baptism into the body of Christ.
3- Baptism is not sacramental, but is an ordinance.
4- Baptism (according to the scriptures) is for believers only, by total immersion only.
(, ).
Only believers were baptized throughout the book of Acts.
TS: To put the whole biblical teaching about baptism in capsule form, baptism is a testimony and an act of obedience.
I- Baptism gives testimony of the timeless gospel of Christ ().
A- The gospel defined ().
1- The person of the gospel ().
a- Christ is the only way
()

().

3- Jesus arose the 3rd day according to the Scriptures.

b- His resurrection was typified by Jonah ().
4- Jesus finished salvation’s plan ().
a- On Calvary he declared “it is finished.”
II- Baptism gives testimony to the experience of the believer (; ).
A- Baptism testifies that the old man has died.
1- When we chose to repent of our old way of life and receive the life that Christ has to offer, the old man ceased to exist.
2- When the believer is placed under the water, it pictures the fact that the old man of sin has died with Christ on the cross and been buried with Christ.
The old man no longer exists, the believer is now in the person.
3- Death of the old life means that the believer is now free from slavery to sin ().
a- Without Christ you can only be a slave to sin ().
b- With Christ you can be free ().
B- Baptism testifies of a resurrected person ().
1- The former condition of the believer ().
a- Dead in rebellion and sin ()
2- the forgiven state of the Christian ().
a- The certificate of debt for our sins has been canceled ().
It is like having a debt that you cannot pay forgiven and erased from the record books!
Conclusion:
what about you today, a friend?

Hymn lyrics:
“sinners Jesus will receive: sound this word of Christ to all
who the heavenly pathway leave, all who linger all who fall.
sing it o’er and o’er again;; Christ receives sinful men;
make the message clear and plain; Christ receives sinful men.”
He stands with his arms outstretched to you.
Ready to receive you.
Will not you say yes to him right now?
