“Water Baptism”  Acts 8:5,12,26-40; 1 Peter 3:21; Acts 2:38-46; Matthew 28:18-20

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)
