Have You Been Baptized?
By Mark Flippo
1 Corinthians 12:13 NIV
For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink.
Acts 10:48 NIV
So he ordered that they be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked Peter to stay with them for a few days.
This is not negotiable! Scripture is very plain in more than one place that this is a must for salvation. The Bible explains it must be by complete immersion. I am one that when the scripture says something then I will do my best to follow Jesus all the way. If I do not understand anything I ask Him to help me to know what He is truly saying.
We must repent which means being sorrowful from all the wrongs you did against His Love. When you sin it is not only against people it is far worse because of the one that gave His life on Calvary, that Loved you so much to do that He has only asked a little from you.
Every sin is against Him! Did you ever think of it that way? Sure you know you have hurt people but you also hurt your Heavenly Father! Our sins carry a lot of weight with them. That kind of weight can break you down emotionally.
The devil will pile on to that sin until it is forgiven you by Jesus when you ask! That little devil likes to pour on guilt until you can loose touch with yourself. Do not let that little booger take away from you your salvation or anything else! If you have repented and been baptized and received His spirit you belong to Jesus!
