● Individuals are called to be holy as temples of God
● Fire reveals our praise, honor, & glory at His coming
● Earth and the works that are in it will be burned up
● Fire of vengeance on who do not know God or obey
● Not written in the Book of Life is cast into lake of fire
● Christ comes 2nd, apart from sin, for salvation
● One cannot be baptized for the dead or another
● Decree/not to ponder various doctrines of baptisms

... one Lord, one faith, one baptism; ... ~ Ephesians 4:4-6
1. ● one body
2. ● one Spirit
3. ● one hope
4. ● one Lord
5. ● one faith
6. ● one baptism
7. ● one God and Father of all
|
Pentecost to Judgment, One Has To:
|
1) HEAR PREACHING CONCERNING CHRIST
2) BELIEVE IT
3) CONFESS, WILLINGNESS TO REPENT
4) ENTER THE WATERS OF BAPTISM
~ AND RISE A NEW PERSON IN CHRIST
|
|
|
|
These are the integral steps called for from GOD
~ to become a Christian - they can not be circumvented.
Four types of baptism in the New Testament:
|
1. BAPTISM OF JOHN ~ call to repentance
2. FIRE BAPTISM ~ for those that refuse Christ
3. HOLY SPIRIT BAPTISM ~ poured out on people
4. THE GREAT COMMISION ~ preach, teach, baptize
|
|

Following man’s way does not exempt one from God’s plan
|
MISCONCEPTIONS:
● Believe baptism is important but not necessary
● Baptism is necessary because our faith is not strong enough
|
|
WHAT JESUS THOUGHT ABOUT BAPTISM:
1. Jesus did it
2. Jesus taught it
3. Jesus wants us to do it
|
|
First Century Christians Believed:
1. They were sinners
2. In the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus
3. In the Lordship of Jesus
4. They believed faith (that included baptism) saves
|
|
BROKEN OR INEFFECTIVE BAPTISMS:
1. Being baptized as a baby
2. Being baptized without changing
3. Being baptized without faith
|
|
WILL NOT SAVE YOU:
Being a Devout Man
Fear God
Give Generously
Pray to God Always

Showing reverence is not the same as wanting God.
1. Believe Him
2. Repent to Him
3. Courage to Announce Him
4. Faithful in Baptism
|
|
Our Savior From Sin = His Sacrifice on the Cross
|

|
A Way to be Forgiven = The Good News

Baptism:
● Into His death/resurrection - Problem/Answer
● Washes away sin - Problem
● Into Christ - Answer
● Cleanses by the Blood of Christ - Problem/Answer
