WATER BAPTISM PURIFIES US BY GOD

Posted by George Soepboer Sr

Only water baptism purifies us from our sins by God

We must be part of Jesus Christ the Son of God if we wish to be part of God.
( 1 John 5:11-12 ).

However, we must be baptized with water to become part of Jesus the Son of God.
( Acts 2:38 ).

If we are not baptized with water then we remain in our sins and we are not acceptable by God. Only baptism with water cleanses us of our sins by God.
( Acts 22:16 ).

Water baptism is a command from God for all of the people of God.
( Matthew 28:18-20 ).

Only faith in the salvation of God through Jesus Christ the Son of God does not make us part of God, we also must be baptized with water to have our sins removed by God.
( Mark 16:15-16 ).

Parents are responsible for their children when they are born to have them baptized with water to have their sins removed by God, and to make them part of God.
( Acts 2:37-39 ).

We are all born in sin by the standards of God for we all have sinned against God.
( Psalms 143:2 ).

Therefore, our children must also have their sins removed by God by water baptism for that makes them part of Jesus Christ the Son of God, for we are born in sin by the standards of God.
( Psalms 51:5 ).

If parents do not have their children baptized with water then their children remain in their sins before God, and then the parents also live in sin before God for not obeying God. Parents may not leave that choice to their children, for parents are responsible for their children before God. Parents must make that choice for their children when they are born, for that is their God given responsibility from God, and then they must teach their children how to live for God.
( Deuteronomy 11:18-19 )

If our children refuse to obey God when they mature that is their responsibility before God, but it is the responsibility of the parents when their children are born to make them part of the salvation of God. If parents do not baptize their children with water then they allow their children to remain in their sin before God. In addition, when we allow our children to live in sin then we also live in sin before God, for then we do not obey God.
( Acts 16:14-15 ).

It is not the amount of water we us to obey that command from God that counts by God, for the water does not remove our sins by God, but it is a symbolic way of God to renew us within by God.
( 1 Peter 3:21 ).
