There he met some disciples and asked them, "Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?" They replied: "No one has been baptized, nor has he heard that the Holy Spirit was given." Paul asked, "Then what baptism were you baptized by?" They said, "The baptism of John."

Let’s study Romans chapter 6 verses 3-5 in the Bible and read them together: Do you not know that we who were baptized into Christ Jesus are baptized into his death ? So, we Buried with Him through baptism into death , so that every move we make may have newness of life, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father. If we have been united with him in the likeness of his death, we shall also be united with him in the likeness of his resurrection;
[Note]: " baptized "Into Christ → into His death; by which we" baptism "Depart into death and be buried with Him → "Bury the old man", "Depart from the old man" → "Baptism" is the "funeral" → Be united with Him in the "form" of death, and be united with Him in the form of His resurrection . " baptized "That you may be glorified → because Jesus' death on the cross glorifies God the Father . So, do you understand clearly?
1. John the Baptist baptism of repentance , is rebirth forward of washing
ask: What about baptism without "effect"?
answer: Detailed explanation below
1 The baptizer was not sent by God
For example, "John the Baptist" was sent by God, and Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan River to find him to be baptized; Jesus sent Philip, the apostles "Peter, Paul" and so on. If it is not the "Baptizer" sent by God → baptism will have no effect.
2 The baptizer is not in the name of Jesus Christ
For example, "Peter" → baptized the Gentiles in the name of Jesus Christ; "Paul" → baptized them in the name of the Lord Jesus - refer to Acts 10:48 and 19:5; there are many churches that baptize Gentiles in the name of Jesus Christ. , Baptize them in the name of the Holy Spirit → "The baptizer" does not understand that "Father, Son, and Holy Spirit" are call →Not "name"→See the parentheses clearly (baptize them, attribute them to the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit)→"Baptizers" do not understand the name of Jesus, and the baptism they baptize you is an "ineffective baptism". Refer to Matthew 28:19
3 The baptizer was a woman
As "Paul" said → I do not allow a woman to preach, nor to have authority over a man, but to be silent. Because Adam was created first, and Eve was created second, and it was not Adam who was seduced, but the woman who was seduced and fell into sin.
→" woman "If a baptizer lays his hands on the heads of brothers and sisters and "baptizes" them, he is robbing the man to be the head and the head of Christ.
4 Back to John the Baptist baptism of repentance
"Paul" asked them, "Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?" They replied, "No, and we have not heard that the Holy Spirit was given." Paul asked, "Then what baptism did you receive?" Said: "The baptism of John." Paul said: " What John performed was the baptism of repentance , telling the people to believe in the one who will come after him, even Jesus. "
→" Baptism of confession and repentance "The baptism of John's repentance," rebirth " forward of baptism. " Gentile "so" baptism "It has no effect. Reference - Acts Chapter 19 Verses 2-4
5 The baptized - do not understand the truth of the gospel
if" baptized "You don't understand what the gospel is? What is the true way? You don't understand that "baptism" is to be incorporated into Christ, to be buried with Him → to be united with Him in the likeness of death. "The baptized" white baptism is an ineffective baptism.
6 Baptized - Not born again saved
" baptized "How can we be united with Christ if we are not born again? For we are through" baptized "Being incorporated into the death of Christ and buried with Him→ Take off the old man . So you" rebirth "Yes" Newcomer "→ I just want to take off my old self .
7 Baptized - believe that "baptism" means rebirth and salvation
Baptism in this way is an ineffective baptism, and washing is in vain. Refer to 1 Peter 3:21.” water baptism Not to take away the filthiness of the flesh, but only the filthiness of Christ Blood Only by purifying one's conscience can one be reborn only by receiving the promised Holy Spirit.
8 In home bathtubs, church pools, indoor pools, rooftop pools →These" baptism "It is of no avail" to be baptized.
9 " "Water pouring ceremony", bottle water washing, basin washing, shower washing →These" baptism "It is an ineffective baptism.
10" baptized "The location is in the "wilderness" → the sea, large rivers, small rivers, ponds, creeks, etc. are suitable" baptism "Any water source is acceptable; if" baptism "Not in the wilderness, other baptisms are → ineffective baptisms. Do you understand this clearly?
2. The baptism of Gentiles into Christ is a glorious baptism
ask: I didn't understand it before" baptized "Being united to Him in form, being incorporated into the death of Christ through "baptism", being buried with Him → being "glorified and rewarded" → Do you want it now? second time "What about baptism?
answer: When you didn't understand before" baptized "→These "baptisms" are ineffective baptisms→ first "Wait for baptism" No "Formally" united to Christ, Why was he baptized a second time? Are you right?
ask: so" Who to look for "What about baptizing? How?" baptized "It is union with Christ → through" baptism "Go into death and be buried with him → "put off the old man" and make Newcomer Get glory and get reward"!
answer: Find the Church of Jesus Christ→Servants sent by God to be baptized→
" baptized "Must be clear" baptized "come to Christ → by" baptism "Departed to death and buried with him → dead" shape "Union with him → Let you" Get glory, get reward ", for the death of Jesus on the cross glorified God the Father and will unite him in the likeness of resurrection, so that you may walk in newness of life, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father. So you Is it clear?
