Baptism is an outward display of your inward profession of faith in Jesus Christ.
Acts 8:37, “… If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.”
Some you probably received an unscriptural baptism at birth. Maybe, you got baptized thinking that was the means by which grace was bestowed upon you. Maybe you thought baptism was how a person gets to Heaven. I am here to tell you, on the authority of God’s Word, if you have not been born again, that water that you were sprinkled with, that ran over your forehead as a baby, or maybe someone wiped it across your brow in the shape of a cross, only got you wet!
If you have never trusted Jesus as your Lord and Saviour, you’re still on your way to hell. But the good news is you don’t have to! You can trust Jesus right now and go to Heaven! You can get into a local, New Testament church being discipled in the doctrines of Jesus Christ, following Jesus, and obeying His commands to be baptized! The Eunuch asks Phillip in Acts 8, “See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?” Phillip’s answer was Scriptural and as simple as ”… If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest.”
Are you saved and on your way to Heaven? If not, what’s hindering you?
