BaptismTypes Eph 4:3-6
Baptism Types There is One Baptism • Paul wrote to the Ephesians that there was One • Yet we find many Baptisms in the New Testament • There are many different Baptisms in religions today
Baptism Types Commanded by Jesus • Mt 28, Mk 16, Lk 24, Jn 3, Commanded by Jesus • Acts 2:37-38, Apostle’s fulfill Jesus’ Command • This lesson makes the case for the “One Baptism” • The One Jesus commanded • By His authority
Baptism Types Commanded by Jesus • Mt 28:19, Make disciples of all nations baptizing them… • Mk 16:15-16, preach gospel to all, he that believes and is baptized shall be saved • Lk 24:47, repentance and remission of sins preached to all nations • Jn 3:1-36, Nicodemus to be “born anew”, He that believes has everlasting life
Baptism Types Commanded by Jesus • Jesus Commanded • Mt 28:19, Make disciples of all nations baptizing them… • Mk 16:15-16, preach gospel to all, he that believes and is baptized shall be saved • Lk 24:47, repentance and remission of sins preached to all nations • Jn 3:1-36, Nicodemus to be “born anew”, He that believes has everlasting life Acts 2:37-38
Baptism Types Of John the Baptizer • Mt 3:1-7, John preaching repentance and baptism – Kingdom of Heaven is at hand • Mt 3:13-17, Jesus was baptized by John • This Baptism was an Immersion in water • This Baptism was commanded by God • This Baptism was administered by Man
Baptism Types Of John the Baptizer • We find that this baptism ended • Acts 18:24-28, Apollos instructed a different one • Act 19:1-5, Ephesians rebaptized • John’s Baptism had a purpose, it was from God, but it was not baptism in the name of Jesus!
Baptism Types With Holy Spirit • Mt 3:11, one coming after him that will baptize with the Holy Ghost and Fire • Lk 24:49, promise of the father upon them; they would be endued with power from on high • Acts 1:5, John Baptized with Water, You shall be Baptized with Holy Spirit… Soon • Acts 2:1-4, Apostles baptized with Holy Spirit
Baptism Types With Holy Spirit • This was promised by Jesus • Lk 24:49, promise of the father upon them; they would be endued with power from on high • Jn 14:16-18, 25-26, 16:7-14, promise of another comforter • This baptism was not commanded by Jesus • This was performed by God • Acts 2:1-4, Apostles baptized with Holy Spirit
Baptism Types With Holy Spirit • This Baptism was not the one Jesus commanded • Act 8:14-19, Samaria baptized but lacked Holy Spirit • Act 19:1-5, Ephesians baptized but lacked Holy Spirit • Since it was performed by God and it was different than the one Jesus commanded: it is not the “one” Jesus commanded
Baptism Types Of Fire • Mt 3:11, one coming after him that will baptize with the Holy Ghost and Fire • Could be one and the same with Holy Ghost • Acts 2:1-4, would still be fulfillment • Judgment • Mt 3:10&12, burning the chaff • Either can fit in the the context of Mt 3 • This baptism is not administered by any disciple or Apostle.
Baptism Types For the Dead • I Cor 15:29, Paul making arguments that prove there is a resurrection • Jesus did not command this one • This is not the response of a believer
Baptism Types Into the Church • I Cor 12:12-13, Baptized into one body • Missing details given in Acts 2:47, the Lord Added to the church… • Misused passage
Baptism Types Requirements • Must be correct Baptism • Acts 18:24-28, Apollos teaching corrected • Acts 19:1-5, Ephesians rebaptized • John’s was not sufficient • Though it was Immersion • Though it was commanded by God • Though it was administered by Man
Baptism Types Requirements • Faith in Jesus • Mk 16:16, Jn 3, he that believes… • Lk 24, Acts 2, Repentance • Acts 8:35-39, Ethiopian Eunuch • I Pet 3:21, answer of a good conscience
Baptism Types Requirements • Immersion in water • By Definition • By Example • Mt 3:13-17, Jesus’ Baptism (by John) was an immersion • Acts 8:38, went down into the water • By Apostolic Teaching • Rom 6, Paul’s analogy to a burial
