The baptism
We find the baptism of our Lord Jesus instituted in
Matthew's Gospels: →
Mt 28:19 Go therefore and make disciples of all
nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy
Spirit,
Mt 28:20 and teach them to observe all that I have
commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the consummation of the age.
This baptism will then be exercised by the believing
remnant of Israel in the 70th DJW.
It is a "Nations Baptism"
It is not a Christian baptism!
Practiced by the early believers in Acts.
Acts 10:47 Then Peter answered, "Could anyone refuse
the water, lest these should be baptized who have received the Holy Spirit, even
as we also?
Acts 10:48 And he commanded that they be baptized in
the name of the Lord. Then they asked him to stay for some days.
The baptism of faith is the testimony!
Of what we are and have by grace through conversion.
Through the baptism of faith we testify that we are

Baptism does not save for heaven, baptism is a burial.
Baptism is like a tombstone -,
In the grave lies the Old Man.
If he remains lying there, it is a wonderful testimony
Rom 6:3 Or do you not know that as many as were baptized into Christ Jesus were
baptized into his death?
Rom 6:4 We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death, so that
just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we
also might walk in newness of life.
Rom 6,5 For if we have been made one with Him in the likeness of His death, we
shall be so also in that of His resurrection,
Rom 6,6 knowing this, that our old man was crucified with him, that the body of
sin might be put away, that we should serve sin no more.
Rom 6,7 For he who has died has been absolved from sin.
Rom 6,8 But if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with
him,
Rom 6:9 knowing that Christ, being raised from the dead, dies no more; death no
longer reigns over him.
Rom 6:10 For what He died, He died to sin once for all; but what He lives, He
lives to God.
Baptism it is not a task of a local gathering of saints,
but a brother baptizes who has converted and knows what baptism is about.
In the Acts of the Apostles, it was performed as soon as possible after
conversion and was done on the basis of the confession of faith in Christ on the
part of the one being baptized.
Today, one should always wait until one realizes that the person to be baptized
knows what is at stake.
Spiritually, he should be at least 20 years old, otherwise the disillusionment
will be longer than 20 years. ....

A church does not baptize and never, men baptize converts.
1. three different baptisms in the NT
1. when we deal with baptism, we should mention right at the beginning that we
can distinguish three main forms of baptism in the New Testament.
1.1 First we find the baptism of John
(Mk 1,4).
Mark 1:4 John came and baptized in the wilderness, preaching the baptism of
repentance for the forgiveness of sins.
As the forerunner of the coming King, John called the people of Israel to repent
and bear fruit worthy of repentance
(Mt 3:8).
Mt 3,6 and they were baptized by him in the Jordan, confessing their sins.
Mt 3,7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his
baptism, he said to them, "Brood of vipers! who told you to escape the wrath to
come?
Mt 3,8 Bring forth therefore fruit worthy of repentance;
Those who came to him and confessed their sins were baptized into repentance,
thus setting themselves apart from the godless condition of the people.
The Lord Jesus was baptized by John, not because He had sins for which He needed
to repent, but to make Himself one with the repentant remnant of Israel and
fulfill all righteousness
(Mt 3:15).
Mt 3:15 But Jesus answered and said unto him, Let it be so now: for so it
behooveth us to fulfill all righteousness. Then he allows him to do it.
1.2 Secondly, we distinguish the baptism of faith
(Rom 6:3, 4).
Rom 6:3 Or do you not know that we, as many as were baptized into Christ Jesus,
were baptized into his death?
Rom 6:4 We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death, so that
just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we also
might walk in newness of life.
It means unification with Christ in His death, and will be discussed in detail
later.
1.3 Thirdly, we find the baptism of the Holy Spirit
(1Cor 12:13)
1Co 12:13 For in one Spirit also were we all baptized into one body, whether
Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and were all made to drink into one
Spirit.
This baptism happened in Acts Kp 2 when the Body of Christ was established.
We, who were later converted,
were added to the one body,
sealed and anointed with / by God the Holy Spirit.
-→
=== Sealed = assurance.
=====Anointed = commission.
Spirit baptism speaks of being incorporated into the body of Christ,
while baptism of faith is a picture of death.
This is the work of the Spirit of God, whereby all who believe in Jesus as their
Savior are inserted into the body of Christ.
In connection with these three baptisms, we should well consider that:→.
John's baptism is not the same as the baptism with the Holy Spirit. The two are
distinguished in Mt 3:11 Though I baptize you with water unto repentance, yet he
that cometh after me is stronger than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to bear:
he shall baptize you with Holy Ghost and fire;
carefully distinguished.
the baptism of John is not the same as the baptism of faith. → Acts 19:1 Now it
came to pass, while Apollos was at Corinth, that Paul, after he had passed
through the upper parts, came to Ephesus. And he found some disciples
Acts 19:2 and said to them: Have ye received the Holy Ghost after ye believed?
But they [said] unto him, We have not even heard whether the Holy Ghost is
there.
Acts 19:3 And he said, Upon what then were ye baptized? And they said, To John's
baptism.
Acts 19:4 And Paul said, John baptized with the baptism of repentance, telling
the people that they should believe in him who was to come after him, that is,
in Jesus.
Acts 19:5 But when they had heard, they were baptized in the name of the Lord
Jesus;
shows us that those who had already been baptized as John's disciples had to be
rebaptized with Christian baptism.
the baptism with the Holy Spirit is not the same as the baptism of faith.
Many have a hazy idea that water baptism is a picture or representation of the
baptism of the Spirit.
But the two are completely different in reality.
In short, all three types of baptisms are distinct from each other
and should not be confused.
2 The baptism of faith after Pentecost
We find only one reference in the New Testament to someone being baptized after
Pentecost who was not a Christian: → Simon the Sorcerer in Acts 8.13.
Otherwise, only those who believed in the Lord Jesus were baptized in Acts.
Let us note the following passages:
2.1 "Those who therefore received his word were baptized."
Here we see only Jews believing in God who had to separate from Judaism through
baptism according to Acts 2.
(Acts 2:41).
2.2 "But when they believed Philip, who preached the gospel of the kingdom of
God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women"
(Acts 8:12).
It is true that "houses" were also baptized
(Acts 16:15;
1Cor 1:16);
All in these houses were converted by repentance and faith in the Lord Jesus.
The house baptism of John Nelson Darby (AV) is pure esotericism
The baby baptism of the state churches is practiced paganism. 3.
3. the main meaning of baptism of faith is most fully explained in
Rom 6:1 What shall we say then? Should we persist in sin that grace may
overflow?
Rom 6:2 Far be it from us! We who are dead to sin, how shall we yet live in it?
Rom 6:3 Or do you not know that as many as were baptized into Christ Jesus were
baptized into his death?
Rom 6:4 We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death, so that
just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we
also might walk in newness of life.
Rom 6,5 For if we have been made one with Him in the likeness of His death, we
shall be so also in that of His resurrection,
Rom 6,6 knowing this, that our old man was crucified with him, that the body of
sin might be put away, that we should serve sin no more.
Rom 6,7 For he who has died has been absolved from sin.
Rom 6,8 But if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with
him,
Rom 6:9 knowing that Christ, being raised from the dead, dies no more; death no
longer reigns over him.
Rom 6:10 For what he died, he died to sin once for all; but what he lives, he
lives to God
Executed...
Summary:
3.1 When the Lord Jesus died, the waves and billows of God's wrath came upon
him.
(Ps 42,8).
3.2 By his death he settled the whole question of sin once and for all.
3.3 God sees every believer as crucified with Christ. All that he was as a
sinner in the flesh has been nailed to the cross.
