Why Believer's Baptism?

It Identifies Me As A Follower Of Christ

“And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” (Acts 2:38, ESV)

“So those who received his word were baptized, and there were added that day about three thousand souls.” (Acts 2:41, ESV)

“But when they believed Philip as he preached good news about the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.” (Acts 8:12, ESV)

Because Christ Commanded It

“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”” (Matthew 28:19–20, ESV)

It Illustrates Christ's Death And Resurrection

“For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures,” (1 Corinthians 15:3–4, ESV)

I Need To Follow The Example Of Christ

“In those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan.” (Mark 1:9, ESV)
