THE BAPTISM OF JESUS
Part 2: The Way of the Master |
|
|
Water baptism is not tied to salvation, nor does it
wash away sin. It is not a purification process as only the blood of
Jesus is capable of cleansing sin. Getting dunked under water
baptizes a person into Christ, not into a church. Church membership
has nothing to do with the matter, nor will baptism it keep you from
sinning. The tradition of sprinkling babies has no validity because
they are clueless, but parents will know when their children are
ready, because accepting Christ always precedes water baptism. We
must not consider baptism a mere tradition of Christianity. The act
serves to demonstrate the spiritual reality of what Jesus
accomplished on the cross and His subsequent resurrection. Baptism
by immersion may have started with John the Baptist - hence the name
- but it culminated with Jesus. In following the God-man's example,
we signify our love by obeying His commandment. Let's follow Jesus
and do it right. |
