Senseless Baptism

If we want to have eternal life, we must OBEY God. The words that Jesus spoke were the words of God and if we disobey Jesus we will not have eternal life. John the Baptist was sent before Jesus and he preached repentance, and he baptized those who repented but some did not repent and they were not baptized. We read in Luke 7:28-30 Jesus said:” I say to you, among those born of women, there is no one greater than John; yet he who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.” 29And when all the people and the tax-gatherers heard this, they acknowledged God’s justice, having been baptized with the baptism of John. 30But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected God’s purpose for themselves, NOT HAVING BEEN BAPTIZED BY JOHN.”

Jesus commanded us to be baptized in water if we believe in Him. There is only ONE baptism and that is the baptism of faith AFTER believing in Jesus. There is no such thing as infant baptism. We can only be pleasing to Jesus IF we OBEY HIM. If we disobey Him, we will not have eternal life.

We read in Mark 16:15. Jesus said: “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. 16“ HE WHO HAS BELIEVED AND HAS BEEN BAPTIZED SHALL BE SAVED; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned.” It is not optional to obey Jesus. If we want to have eternal life we must ABSOLUTELY obey Him. If you want to have eternal life you MUST BE baptized in water AFTER BELIEVING IN JESUS CHRIST. Doing it in any other way is the precepts (rules) of men, that is not the words of Jesus and that is all useless and to no avail. We must OBEY Jesus if we want to have eternal life because we will be judged by His words.

May Jesus bless you.
