| 2. Because Jesus WANTS you to be baptized. |
"Go therefore and make disciples...baptizing them..." Matthew 28:19 |
3. Because it is the biblical way to DECLARE that you have become a Christian. |
"...many...when they heard were believing and being baptized" Acts 18:8 |
WHAT MODE? IMMERSION 1. JESUS was baptized that way. |
"...after being baptized, Jesus went up immediately from the water" Matthew 3:16 |
2. The FIRST Christians were baptized that way. |
