Sermon notes

Perspectives on Baptism

Where Baptism Came From

  • Basic idea: being immersed
  • The Apostle John’s Baptism (Matthew 3:1-17)
  • Christian Baptism (Matthew 28:18-20)

What Baptism Is

Baptism is an outward physical sign of an inward physical reality. It symbolizes that those who have repented and believed in Jesus have been fully immersed into Christ’s death and resurrection.

The Relevance of Baptism

Your baptism is an appeal to be faithful to a life that is united with Christ

  • So, walk in newness of life (Romans 6:1-5)
  • So, stay united with the church (Galatians 3:27-28)
