WATER BAPTISM IS NOT AN OPTION, BUT A COMMAND FROM GOD

Posted by George Soepboer Sr

We must receive baptism with water to become part of the kingdom of God, water Baptism is
not a option but a command from God.
( Matthew 28:18-20 ).

Water Baptism is a performance of people but it is the works and will of God. Only through water baptism are we acceptable to God.
When we withhold ourselves or our children from water baptism then we remain in our sins for then there is no forgiveness of our sins by God.
( Acts 2:37-39 ).

Only through Jesus Christ the Son of God can we come to God. However, we must be part of Jesus to Son of God to become acceptable to God. Therefore, we must be baptized with water for that is the only way to become part of Jesus Christ the Son of God.
( Acts 22:16 ).

God’s love came to us through Jesus Christ the Son of God to save us from the punishment of our sins by God.
( John 3:16-17 ).

However, we have no part in the redemption of God through Jesus the Son of God if we are not baptism with water into Jesus the Son of God. Only believing in the redemption of God through Jesus the Son of God does not make us acceptable by God. We must accept that grace of God but we must also be baptized with water to remove our sins by God.
( Mark 16:15-16 ).

Only through Jesus the Son of God can we become part of the grace of God to find acceptance by God, for the Son of God opened the way for us to God, for He paid for our sins by God.
However, only through water baptism can we become part of Jesus the Son of God, and if we are not part of Jesus the Son of God then we are not part of God.
( 1 John 4:11-12 ).

Anyone who is not willing to receive baptism with water to receive forgiven of his or her sins by God receives punished in hell for his or her sins by God, for only through Jesus Christ the Son of God will we be accepted in heaven by God.
( Revelation 7:13-15 ).

Water baptism is not only for mature people who have knowledge of God, but it is also for their children who have no knowledge of God.
( Acts 2:39 ).

Children as all other people live under the condemnation of sin before God.
( Psalms 51:5 ).

No one is without sin by the standards of God, we all have sinned against God.
( Psalms 143:2 ).

When we are not willing to be grafted into Jesus Christ the Son of God through water baptism than we remain separated from Jesus Christ the Son of God. When we are separated from Jesus the Son of God then we remain separated from God, and when we are separated from God then we live for satan, not for God, for we can only be part of God through Jesus the Son of God, any other way leads to hell, not to God.
( John 14:6 ).

Water baptism may be performed by any mature Christian who lives by the Spirit of God for the performance of water baptism is not a gift to some people from God, but a command to all Christians who lead people to God.
( Matthew 28:18-20 ).

We also may not judge who may be baptism with water for the forgiveness of their sins by God, for it is necessary for all of the people to be baptized with water for the forgiveness of our sins by God if they wish to be part of the kingdom of God.
( Mark 16-15-16 ).

We also may never withhold water baptism from the children of Christian’s parents before they have knowledge of God, for through their Christian parents they are holy to God, for through their Christian parents they belong to God. Therefore they also must be baptized with water to have their sins forgiven by God. For we may not judge who may or may not be baptized with water for that judgment belongs to God, but we must do the will of God.
( 1 Corinthians 7:14 ).

We do not have the right from God to hold anyone back from water baptism who wants to be part of God, for then we are not doing the will of God but then we take the place of God, for the heart and mind of people are only known by God.
( Romans 14:10-12 ).

When we are baptized with water as a child then we may no seek re-baptizing, for that is not of God. Jesus the Son of God paid for our sins once and for all people by God, when we are baptized with water then we belong to God. Therefore, we may not be re-baptized for then we mock God by not trusting God.
( 1 Peter 3:18 ).

It is not important who baptized us to receive that grace from God, for it is not a gift of man but a gift from God. It also is not important at what place we receive baptized for everywhere is God.
It is also not important at what age we are baptized with water to received that gift from God.
If we are baptized with water then we are part of God. Anyone who seeks re-baptism sins against God for then we belittle the grace of God that we received the first time we were baptized with water to be forgiven of our sins by God. Re-baptizing people with water is not of God for then they mock God. After we are baptized with water then we must seek the fullness of God.
( Hebrews 6:1-2 ).

Therefore after we are baptized with water then we must ask for the indwelling of the Spirit of God for then we can live in fullness with God. Water baptism washes away our sins by God. However, the indwelling of the Spirit of God brings us into fellowship with God. Therefore we must be baptized with water and we must receive the Spirit within of God to be complete in God.
( John 3:3-6 )( Acts 2:37-38 ).

When we receive baptism with water then we belong to God, for then we are part of the grace of God through Jesus Christ the Son of God. However, when we receive the Spirit within of God then we are one with God, for then God lives within us by the Spirit of God.
( 2 Corinthians 6:16-17 ).

For Jesus Christ the Son of God did not only pay for our sins by God to make us right with God. Jesus the Son of God also paid for us to live in friendship and fullness on this world with God like Adam and Eve live before they followed satan and turned their back on God.
( Romans 5:12-21 ).
