  • 00:00

    Hey, welcome back.

  • 00:01

    What does the Bible say about baptism, and why is it so important?

  • 00:05

    It's time to UNLEARN the lies.

  • 00:17

    There has been a trend in modern Christianity which has begun to place little value on baptism,

  • 00:23

    and treat it as an optional token, rather than a vital step in our faith, teaching that

  • 00:28

    baptism is only symbolic, and that it has no other purpose.

  • 00:33

    They claim that baptism is simply an outward expression of an inward act, and in many cases

  • 00:38

    the "altar call" has come to replace the baptismal in the life of new believers.

  • 00:44

    However, if baptism is only symbolic, then why did Yeshua command that all believers

  • 00:50

    become baptized?

  • 00:52

    "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the

  • 00:56

    Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I

  • 01:01

    have commanded you..."

  • 01:02

    - Matthew 28:19-20

  • 01:03

    Why would our Messiah place so much emphasis on baptism if it was only symbolic?

  • 01:09

    He placed it on equal ground with making disciples and teaching them to obey all of His commandments.

  • 01:15

    He also linked baptism to salvation, saying,

  • 01:18

    "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.

  • 01:22

    He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned."

  • 01:28

    - Mark 16:15-16

  • 01:29

    When did baptism originate, and what is its purpose?

  • 01:31

    We know that John was baptizing people in the Jordan for repentance of sins, but was

  • 01:36

    he the first to introduce baptism?

  • 01:38

    If we do a little research, we find a connection between baptism and the practice of ablution,

  • 01:44

    the act of washing oneself in water as prescribed by God in the Torah.

  • 01:49

    There are three kinds of ablution recognized in Biblical and rabbinical law: (1) Washing

  • 01:54

    of the hands, (2) washing of the hands and feet, and (3) immersion of the whole body

  • 01:58

    in water.

  • 01:59

    These ablutions are often referred to as “ritual washings”, and the two most common are that

  • 02:06

    of hand washing and full body immersion.

  • 02:10

    The Bible provides a number of scenarios for when we should wash ourselves in water.

  • 02:14

    It serves to decontaminate from sickness and disease, to purify from touching unclean things,

  • 02:20

    to sanitize from emissions and menstruations, and to sanctify before entering the temple.

  • 02:26

    John Wesley popularized the phrase, “Cleanliness is indeed next to godliness”, and although

  • 02:31

    that phrase is not found in the Scriptures, the concept can be inferred from the sheer

  • 02:36

    number of times the Bible instructs us to wash.

  • 02:41

    Aside from ritual cleansing, immersion was also used in the conversion process for Gentile

  • 02:46

    proselytes to become part of the Jewish people.

  • 02:49

    This is actually where the baptism for conversion originated.

  • 02:53

    Being “baptized into Christ Jesus” is the starting point for those who wish to enter

  • 02:58

    the covenant.

  • 03:00

    Listen to what the Jewish Encyclopedia says about baptism for conversion.

  • 03:04

    “The Baptism of the proselyte has for its purpose his cleansing from the impurity of

  • 03:09

    idolatry, and the restoration to the purity of a new-born man…

  • 03:14

    The bathing in the water is to constitute a rebirth, wherefore ‘the ger is like a

  • 03:18

    child just born’ and he must bathe ‘in the name of God’ — ‘leshem shamayim’

  • 03:25

    — that is, assume the yoke of God's kingdom imposed upon him by the one who leads him

  • 03:30

    to Baptism, or else he is not admitted into Judaism.

  • 03:34

    For this very reason the Israelites before the acceptance of the Law had, according to

  • 03:40

    Philo on the Decalogue, as well as according to rabbinical tradition, to undergo the rite

  • 03:46

    of baptismal purification…”

  • 03:47

    - Singer, Isidore, Ph.D, Projector and Managing Editor.

  • 03:48

    Entry for 'Baptism'.

  • 03:49

    1901 The Jewish Encyclopedia.

  • 03:50

    This is very similar to what Paul wrote about those who passed through the red sea after

  • 03:53

    leaving Egypt.

  • 03:54

    "Moreover, brethren, I do not want you to be unaware that all our fathers were under

  • 03:59

    the cloud, all passed through the sea, all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and

  • 04:05

    in the sea, all ate the same spiritual food, and all drank the same spiritual drink.

  • 04:11

    For they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ."

  • 04:16

    - 1 Corinthians 10:1-4

  • 04:17

    The phrase “baptized into Moses” is a reference to Moses being the one who led them

  • 04:21

    in their baptism, and it was under Moses that they assumed “the yoke of God’s kingdom”.

  • 04:26

    This would mean that if we are baptized in Yeshua, then we assume the yoke of the covenant

  • 04:31

    through Him, because He is the one who leads us into the kingdom.

  • 04:36

    There are a number of types and shadows of baptism in the Scriptures such as Noah and

  • 04:40

    the flood, Moses in the Nile, the Israelites crossing the Red Sea, and Jonah in the belly

  • 04:46

    of the whale.

  • 04:47

    Not only do these events represent baptism, but also point prophetically to the resurrection.

  • 04:53

    Each of these accounts show how people were redeemed from death through water.

  • 04:58

    Peter made a direct correlation between baptism and the resurrection.

  • 05:01

    He also used the flood as an example of baptism, explaining how Noah and his family were saved

  • 05:08

    through water.

  • 05:09

    "...when once the Divine longsuffering waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being

  • 05:14

    prepared, in which a few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water.

  • 05:19

    There is also an antitype which now saves us - baptism (not the removal of the filth

  • 05:25

    of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God), through the resurrection of Jesus

  • 05:31

    Christ," - 1Peter 3:21

  • 05:32

    Just as the flood purified the earth, so also baptism purifies the soul.

  • 05:37

    Baptism is the cleansing of a person from impurity and idolatry.

  • 05:42

    Peter said baptism is an “antitype” of the flood.

  • 05:46

    The Greek word he used here is ἀντίτυπον (antitypon) which means typical of, representing

  • 05:51

    by type or pattern, corresponding to, a thing resembling another, or its counterpart.

  • 05:57

    It refers to another thing that is similar to the first.

  • 06:02

    Therefore, baptism is a type or pattern of the flood which saved Noah and his family.

  • 06:07

    The flood cleansed the world of evil, and allowed Noah and his family to start over

  • 06:11

    fresh.

  • 06:12

    The whole earth was baptized in water, which is symbolic of resurrection, because new life

  • 06:17

    came forth from the ark.

  • 06:20

    Peter also says we are baptized “through the resurrection of Jesus Christ.”

  • 06:24

    Therefore, our baptism is connected to the resurrection of Yeshua.

  • 06:27

    Likewise, Paul made a similar analogy between baptism and the resurrection of Yeshua.

  • 06:32

    "What shall we say then?

  • 06:33

    Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound?

  • 06:36

    Certainly not!

  • 06:37

    How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it?

  • 06:40

    Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into

  • 06:45

    His death?

  • 06:47

    Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was

  • 06:53

    raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of

  • 06:58

    life.

  • 06:59

    For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall

  • 07:03

    be in the likeness of His resurrection, knowing this, that our old man was crucified with

  • 07:09

    Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of

  • 07:14

    sin.

  • 07:15

    For he who has died has been freed from sin.

  • 07:18

    Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him"

  • 07:22

    - Romans 6:1-8

  • 07:23

    According to Paul, baptism is an identification with the death and resurrection of our Messiah.

  • 07:27

    As we go down into the waters we are receiving His death and burial, and as we come up out

  • 07:32

    of the waters we are proclaiming His resurrection and new life.

  • 07:35

    In this way, baptism becomes an expression of faith in the resurrection of the dead.

  • 07:40

    Peter compelled the people to be baptized during his sermon, teaching baptism for the

  • 07:45

    remission of sins.

  • 07:47

    "Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest

  • 07:52

    of the apostles, "Men and brethren, what shall we do?"

  • 07:56

    Then Peter said to them, "Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of

  • 07:59

    Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit...

  • 08:04

    Then those who gladly received his word were baptized; and that day about three thousand

  • 08:10

    souls were added to them."

  • 08:12

    - Acts 2:37-41

  • 08:13

    It is no wonder that we see the Apostles placing such emphasis on baptism among new believers.

  • 08:16

    Here are a few examples from the book of Acts that show how important it was to the First

  • 08:21

    Century believers.

  • 08:23

    "But when they believed Philip as he preached the things concerning the kingdom of God and

  • 08:28

    the name of Jesus Christ, both men and women were baptized."

  • 08:31

    - Acts 8:12

  • 08:32

    "Then Philip opened his mouth, and beginning at this Scripture, preached Jesus to him.

  • 08:38

    Now as they went down the road, they came to some water.

  • 08:41

    And the eunuch said, "See, here is water.

  • 08:44

    What hinders me from being baptized?"

  • 08:47

    Then Philip said, "If you believe with all your heart, you may."

  • 08:50

    And he answered and said, "I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God."

  • 08:54

    So he commanded the chariot to stand still.

  • 08:57

    And both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water, and he baptized him."

  • 09:01

    - Acts 8:35-38

  • 09:02

    Even Paul was compelled to be baptized when he became a believer.

  • 09:06

    "And Ananias went his way and entered the house; and laying his hands on him he said,

  • 09:11

    "Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you came, has sent me

  • 09:17

    that you may receive your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit."

  • 09:22

    Immediately there fell from his eyes something like scales, and he received his sight at

  • 09:27

    once; and he arose and was baptized."

  • 09:30

    - Acts 9:17-18

  • 09:31

    "...he stood and said to me, 'Brother Saul, receive your sight.'

  • 09:34

    And at that same hour I looked up at him.

  • 09:37

    Then he said, 'The God of our fathers has chosen you that you should know His will,

  • 09:42

    and see the Just One, and hear the voice of His mouth.

  • 09:46

    For you will be His witness to all men of what you have seen and heard.

  • 09:50

    And now why are you waiting?

  • 09:52

    Arise and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord.'"

  • 09:57

    - Acts 22:13-16

  • 09:58

    Notice that baptism was done immediately after coming to faith.

  • 10:01

    They didn’t have an “altar call” or take a new members class, they believed and

  • 10:06

    were baptized.

  • 10:07

    There was a sense of urgency connected to each of these baptism accounts, because they

  • 10:12

    understood baptism to be a vital part of their salvation.

  • 10:17

    Baptism marks the death our sinful ways, giving us a newness of life through the Spirit, because,

  • 10:22

    "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot

  • 10:27

    enter the kingdom of God."

  • 10:28

    - John 3:5

  • 10:29

    If we want to enter the Kingdom and have eternal life, then we must put our sinful flesh to

  • 10:34

    death, and live our life according to the Spirit, walking in obedience to the Word of

  • 10:39

    God.

  • 10:40

    "Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission

  • 10:46

    of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit."

  • 10:50

    - Acts 2:38

  • 10:51

    In many churches it is popular to have an "altar call" for people who want to convert

  • 10:55

    and be saved, but the Bible places emphasis on baptism for conversion, salvation, and

  • 11:02

    for the remission of sins.

  • 11:03

    The Bible never mentions an "altar call", Peter didn't ask people to "raise their hands

  • 11:08

    and pray a prayer", the apostles always compelled the new believers to immediately get baptized.

  • 11:14

    I have one final verse for those who don't think baptism is important.

  • 11:19

    "the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the will of God for themselves, not having been baptized

  • 11:25

    by him."

  • 11:26

    - Luke 7:30

  • 11:27

    I hope this teaching has helped you better understand the importance of baptism.

  • 11:30

    And if you have not been baptized, then what are you waiting for?
