}Matthew
28:18-19
}18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority
has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 Go therefore[a] and make disciples
of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and
of the Holy Spirit,
}
}
}To be “baptised”
means to be “totally immersed”.
}If a person repents
from his sin and has accepted Jesus as his Lord and Savior he can be baptised
and be brought to the river, sea or any place where there is water for him to
be immersed and be baptised.
}Sprinkling is
permissible when the person is on sick bay or there is not enough
water.(desert)
}
}There are four stages
Christ work pictured.
1.He died- I died in
Him
}Romans
6:6-7
}6 knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we
should no longer be slaves of sin. 7 For he who has died has been freed from sin.
}
}Stage 2.
}He was Buried- I
was Buried with Him
}Romans
6:3
}3 Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized
into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death?
}Romans
6:4
}Therefore we were
buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from
the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of
life.
}
}
}
}
}Stage 3
}He was raised- I have
a New Life in Him.
}Romans
6:4-5
}4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death:
that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father,
even so we also should walk in newness of life.
}5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of
his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
}
}
}Now we have New Life.
}Your Old life is
death.
}You are a New Person
in Jesus.
}Ezekiel
36:26-27
}26 I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within
you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of
flesh. 27 I will
put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will
keep My judgments and do them.
}
}
}Stage 4
}He Ascended- I
Ascended in Him
}Colossians
3:1-3
}Not
Carnality but Christ
}1 If then you
were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is,
sitting at the right hand of God. 2 Set your mind on things above, not on things on the
earth. 3 For you
died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
}
}THE TWO KINGDOMS
}Colossians
1:13
}New King James
Version (NKJV)
}13 He has delivered us from the power of darkness and
conveyed us into the kingdom of
the Son of His love,
}Every man and woman
born into the world is born into the Kingdom of Darkness born slaves
dictator Satan.
}There is no way out
of this Kingdom except by DEATH, and there is no way into the Kingdom of God
except by BIRTH.
}And so Jesus became
both our death and new birth- and this we desire in water baptism.
}
}The First Adam.
}“For as in Adam all
die……..(1 Cor. 15:22)
}Adam was the father
of us all, the entire human race. Adam’s sin alienated us from God.
}Because of his sin we
all inherited his rebellious and diseased nature and became subject to death.
}Adam’s offspring are
called “the Adamic Race”.
}The Last Adam
}Romans
5:6
}Christ
in Our Place
}6 For when we were still without strength, in due time
Christ died for the ungodly.
}There was no way God
could change the fallen Adamic Race and
the firstborn of new race of humanity.
}Jesus was the last
Adam.
}He came as the
lastborn of the Adamic Race.
}When Jesus died on
the Cross, the Adamic Race and the Adamic sinful nature died.
}The Second Man
}1
Corinthians 15:22
}22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be
made alive.
}Jesus came as God’s
new Man, through which a new race would be created.
}Jesus was raised from
the dead not as the Last Adam- but the Second Man the Head of the New Creation.
}
}
}Corinthians
15:45-49
}5 And so it is written, “The first man Adam became a
living being.”[a] The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.
}46 However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural,
and afterward the spiritual. 47 The first
man was of the earth, made of dust; the second Man is the Lord[b] from heaven. 48 As was the man of dust, so also are those who are made of dust;
and as is the heavenly Man, so also are those who are heavenly. 49 And as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we shall also bear[c] the image of the
heavenly Man.
}After Baptism You are
a New Creation.
}2
Corinthians 5:17
}17 Therefore, if anyone is in
Christ, he is a new creation; old
things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
}In water baptism we declare to all our friends and
acquaintances that we are no longer part of Adam’s race and the Kingdom of
Darkness.
}We are a New Creation
in Christ belonging to the Kingdom of God.
}
}Your Commitment.
}Abba I thank you that
you brought me into this world to deliver me from the Kingdom of Darkness to
the Kingdom of God.
}I thank you Jesus
that you have asked me to obey your
commands that I go out to make disciples of all nation baptizing them in the
Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
}I pray and make this
commitment today to encourage all the people I know to be baptised.
}In Jesus name I pray.
Amen.
