Bible Baptism

What Can Baptism Do?

1 PETER 3:21, 22

21 There is also an antitype which now saves us—baptism (not the removal of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God), through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,
22 who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, angels and authorities and powers having been made subject to Him.

  • Bible baptism is not a work of man or law of Moses, but a work of faith.
  • Bible baptism does not signify that someone has already been saved but saves.
  • Bible baptism doesn't save through the power of water but through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
  • Bible baptism is in water and not any other element.
  • Bible baptism is not the removal of the filth from the flesh, but rather provides an answer of a good conscience toward God.
  • Bible baptism is a command to be obeyed by the authority of Jesus Christ.
  • Bible baptism does not wash away future sins, but past sins.

How To Call On The Lord To Be Saved?

It is a phrase which is often stated but one that is unlikely explained. You must "call on the name of the Lord" to be saved. But what does it mean? How do we call on the name of the Lord today?

This command was also unclear to many of the Jews in the first century. The apostle Peter was preaching the gospel to thousands on the day of Pentecost wherein he quoted from the prophet Joel, "And it shall come to pass That whoever calls on the name of the LORD Shall be saved" (Acts 2:21).

After he testified against their deeds and after he gave irrefutable proof that Jesus was the Christ, the people were pierced to the heart and asked a very important question, "Men and brethren, what shall we do?" (Acts 2:37). If they knew "how to call on the name of the Lord, they would not have asked, "what shall we do?"

The Plan of Salvation

Have you obeyed the gospel? Is the gospel to be obeyed and if so, what is required? We know the gospel is to be obeyed because Paul said of our Lord’s second coming,

“in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who do not know God, and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ” (2 Thess. 1:8).
