Baptism Teaching
Should You Be Immersed or Sprinkled When Baptized?
The LAST MESSAGE preached by Jesus was a COMMAND to BAPTIZE all nations. (Matthew 28:19)
The FIRST MESSAGE preached by the apostles resulted in a command for EVERYONE to be BAPTIZED. (Acts 2:38)
BAPTISM IS IMPORTANT AND SHOULD BE ADMINISTERED ACCORDING TO SCRIPTURE.

Below are some Scriptures for Immersion:
MUCH WATER: "And John also was baptizing in Aenon...because there was much water there" John 3:23.
INTO THE WATER: "They went down both into the water,...and he baptized him" Acts 8:38.
OUT OF THE WATER:"They were come up out of the water" Acts 8:39.
BURIED: "We are buried with him by baptism" Romans 6:4.
PLANTED: "...we have been planted together" Romans 6:5.
Without question the early church taught and practised baptism by immersion. Paul said, "If we or an angel from heaven preach any other gospel let him be accursed" Galatians 1:8, 9.
