Observations re verses on baptism:
JohnÕs baptism JesusÕ
baptism
With water (much water Jn 3:23) with
fire
Unto repentance with
the Holy Ghost
For remission of sins
Looking toward belief on
Jesus Christ, Acts 19:4
Baptism pictures burial
and resurrection – Rom 6:3-4, Col 2:12
(i.e.,
immersion – Acts 8:38)
It is associated with
washing/cleansing – Acts 22:16
Baptism requires a Ògood
conscience toward GodÓ – 1 Peter 3:21
There is one
acceptable baptism, one acceptable faith, and one Lord/God and Father
of all. Eph 4:5-6
It is associated with confessing
sin – Matt 3:6, Mark 1:5
Jesus set the example
– Matt 3:13, Mark 1:9, Luke 3:21
John recognized that
JesusÕ had the greater baptism—Matt 3:11, 14, Luke 3:16
Baptism is connected with
belief (faith) – Mark 16:16, Acts 8:12-13, 18:8
It is associated with
being delivered from the wrath to come – Luke 3:7, Matt 3:7
The disciples/earthly
representatives of Jesus performed the physical baptisms—not Jesus
– John 4:2
It requires repentance
– Acts 2:38
It is associated with
those who Ògladly receive His wordÓ – Acts 2:41
It should only be done in
the name of Jesus – Acts 2:38, 8:16, 10:48, 19:5
It makes us part of one
body – 1 Cor 12:13
In effect, it is clothing
oneself with Christ – Gal 3:27

an act of obedience – Matt 28:19
It is associated with
JesusÕ suffering – Matt 20:22-23, Mark 10:38-39, Luke 12:50
It is a foundational
(milk of the word) doctrine – Heb 6:1-2
1 Cor
10:1-5 – Baptism unto Moses suggests unity of faith in action resulting
in deliverance. The problem with
the example given is that the faith of the people was in the man Moses and not
in God.
What did it mean to
Òjustify GodÓ in Luke 7:29?
It is to recognize that
God is the one with the authority to decide what is appropriate/correct. Those who were obedient to JohnÕs
baptism were recognizing their need to repent as a prerequisite to acceptance
of the Messiah
I have no clue what the
verses regarding Òbaptism for the deadÓ mean in
1 Cor 15:28-29. (1/09)
New understanding from my study in 1Corinthians:
ItÕs obvious that Paul is making
reference to people who are living being baptized on behalf of loved ones who
have died. In context, the subject has been the resurrection of Christ
and in turn of believers who die. I think it is significant to note that
in no other scripture is this taught to be an appropriate practice. I
decided to look at a few commentaries, and I believe David Guzik
made some good observations.
ÒThe plain meaning
of the original language is that some people are being baptized on behalf of
those who have died. Paul's point is "If there is no resurrection, why are
they doing this? What is the point if there is no life after death?"
Significantly, Paul does not say,
"we baptize for the dead," but asks what will they do who are
baptized for the dead, and Why then are they baptized
for the dead? Therefore, Paul is referring to a pagan custom of vicarious
baptism for the dead. "Paul simply mentions the superstitious custom
without approving it and uses it to fortify his argument that there is a
resurrection from the dead." (Mare)
Paul's point is plain: "The pagans even believe in the resurrection because they baptize for the dead. The pagans have the sense to believe in resurrection, but some of you Corinthian Christians do not!
Notes on Baptism
Pastor Bob
11/6/02
Re baptism--
There is a difference in
being filled with and being filled and surrounded by or submerged in.
Sacraments are actions
done in obedience to proper authority.
Protestants – 2
sacraments – baptism & the LordÕs Supper
Catholics – 7
sacraments
Catholics consider
baptism a sacrament of rebirth and necessary for infants to erase Òoriginal
sinÓ
Reformed denominations
(Presbyterians, Lutherans, etc.) baptize infants to seal their salvation before
they realize they are sinners.
Calvary, Baptists, (+?) believe that you canÕt rely on connections in the family or church, and that repentance is necessary for proper baptism. Reference the following verses:
Luke 3:7 Then said he to the multitude that
came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you
to flee from the wrath to come?
Luke 3:8 Bring forth therefore fruits worthy
of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That God
is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
1Pet. 3:18 For Christ also hath once suffered
for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to
death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:
1Pet. 3:19 By which also he went and preached
unto the spirits in prison;
1Pet. 3:20 Which sometime were disobedient, when
once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a
preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.
1Pet. 3:21 The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of
the flesh, but the answer of a good
conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of
Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the
Holy Ghost.
