Question: Why should you be baptized?
Requirements for Scriptural Water Baptism:
1) A Proper Administrator: a man called and sent of God
2) A Proper Subject: a born again child of God, as evidenced by the fruit of the Spirit in his life
3) A Proper Motive: A belief in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, as stated by the Ethiopian Eunuch, “….and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.” (Acts 8:36-37)
4) The Proper Mode: immersion (burial) in water ” …….and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him. And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing. (Acts 8:38-39)
