SEASONS GREETINGS TO ALL...


JOHN 3:16

"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.


JOHN 3:18

"He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.


JOHN 3:36

"He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him."


ACTS 16:31

They said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household."


JOHN 3:3

In reply Jesus declared, "I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again."


JOHN 3:5

Jesus answered, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.


TITUS 3:5

he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy.
He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit,


1 PETER 3:21-22

and this water symbolizes baptism that now saves you also--not the removal of dirt from the body but the pledge of a good conscience toward God.

It saves you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ, who has gone into heaven and is at God's right hand--with angels, authorities and powers in submission to him.


ROMANS 6:4-5

We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.

If we have been united with him like this in his death, we will certainly also be united with him in his resurrection.


COLOSSIANS 2:12

having been buried with him in baptism and raised with him through your faith in the power of God, who raised him from the dead.


MARK 16:16

Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.


ACTS 22:16

And now what are you waiting for?
Get up, be baptized and wash your sins away, calling on his name.'


D.E.U.S.(G.O.D.) ACCEPTS THOSE WHO WANTS TO BE BAPTIZED IN GOD'S NAME...

WHEN THE TIME COMES THAT YOU HAVE DECIDED TO RECEIVE BAPTISM IN CHRIST...

WHEN GOD ALLOWS US AND PROVIDED US WITH THE MEANS TO EXECUTE THE BAPTISM RITUAL, WE DO IT TO WILLING RECIPIENTS.

BAPTISM IN CHRIST JESUS MUST BE ACCEPTED WITH FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS, WITH THE KNOWLEDGE WHAT BAPTISM IS, AND WITH SUBMISSION TO THE WILL OF GOD.

WITHOUT THE PROPER FAITH, WITHOUT THE PROPER KNOWLEDGE OF WHAT BAPTISM IS, AND WITHOUT SUBMISSION TO THE WILL OF GOD, SUCH BAPTISM IS INVALID...

IT IS ONLY VALIDATED IF THE PROPER FAITH, PROPER KNOWLEDGE, AND SUBMISSION TO GOD'S WILL IS PRESENT ON THE ONE TO BE BAPTIZED...

BAPTISM IS DONE IN AREAS OF FREE FLOWING WATER...

THE ONE BAPTIZED IS GIVEN THE DOCTRINE OF CHRIST BEFORE BAPTISM...
AS ONE ACCEPTS CHRIST, ONE IS BAPTIZED IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, THE SON, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT...

ONE IS THEN IMMERSED IN THE WATER, SYMBOLIZING THE UNION WITH CHRIST'S DEATH, AND ONE'S DEATH FROM ONE'S SIN...

AS ONE IS LIFTED UP FROM THE WATER, ONE UNIFIES WITH CHRIST IN THE RESURRECTION.... AND IS BORN AGAIN IN CHRIST JESUS...


1 PETER 1:23 STATES:

For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God.


JOHN 1:12- 13 STATES:

Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God--who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.


2 CORINTHIANS 5:17

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!


TO GOD BE THE GLORY FOREVER AND EVER. AMEN.
