Pastor Rick , yes I get it you covered the definition of Baptism very well O.K.? But you left out some things ! According acts 2 38 , 22 16 step 1 is BELIEF in Christ as the Son of GOD who died for our sins, step 2 is REPENTANCE meaning you will not continue to practice sin and is required BEFORE being baptized or you just got wet! ! Then after truly repenting , you may be baptized ( which is an act of obediance ) to recieve forgiveness of your sins AND the gift of the Holy Spirit being "Born Again" The bible requires all 3 to be saved, DO NOT be decieved that "faith only" saves you !

Baptism is more than a symbol; it remits our sins. Peter told the crowd in Acts 2 to be baptized in the name of Jesus FOR the remission of sins. Therefore, our sins are not remitted if we've not been baptized in His name. Jesus told Nicodemus in John 3:5 that a man can't enter God's kingdom unless he's born of the water and the spirit. I do agree with you about immersion. The full plan of salvation is repent, be baptized in the name of Jesus, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Ghost (Acts 2:38)

BS

Peter said to them, "Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. (Acts 2:38, NASB) So Apostle Peter said if you want forgiveness you got to be baptized ( immersed) if you have never been baptized for the remission of your sins, you are still in your sins!

Corresponding to that, baptism now saves you--not the removal of dirt from the flesh, but an appeal to God for a good conscience--through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, (1 Peter 3:21, NASB)

Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. (Mark 16:16, ESV)

LOVE THE WAY YOU PUT THIS!!

The Bible requires that we undergo 2 types of baptism. One of water (as is what John the baptist did, and one of the Holy Ghost.) The Bible also tells us to be baptized in the name of the father son and Holy Spirit. However, the name of the father, Son, and Holy Spirit is Jesus Christ, or Lord Jesus. The Bible instructs us not to add or take away anything from the Bible so these instructions are relevant and very important. So when you baptize someone, they are to be baptized in the name of “Jesus Christ” or “Lord Jesus”; not simply “in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit”, those are Gods titles. Jesus the “Christ”, the Holy Spirit, and God are one. References: Acts 7:59 And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.

I'm baptizing my wife this weekend! I've been listen to your teachings since the very beginning and I am so happy you have been beyond reproach during your entire life. God bless.

This is the best description, reason and answer I’ve seen in my entire life. Great video

I’m doing my first baptism this upcoming week. Thank you for all of this!!

Really wonder what John the Baptist said when he baptized the multitude before Jesus. Food for thought

I followed this man of God and performed my first 3 baptismals on my nephew sister and brother. Praise God they are new to the Kingdom of God.😁👍

Thank you pastor Rick. I’m getting baptized on my birthday, April 7th and felt myself getting nervous because I’m afraid I will fall short to sin. I’m still kind of having a hard time feeling worthy enough of His grace

Past sins are only cleansed once a person by faith submits and completes a baptism in water for the remission of sins, Acts 2:38. Go back and re-study just baptism. One is not a Christian prior to being baptized. Sins must be cleansed before one is a new child of God. The blood of Christ touches each new obedient believer through the faith act of baptism. Colossians 2:11-12. It’s very simple pastor that is unless if your afraid to teach the truth possibly losing members of your congregation.

Matthew 3:11 "I baptize you with water for repentance, but he who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire."

Jesus alone is the way the truth and the life. Baptism is not the door. Where in the Bible is baptism described as the "door to heaven"?

Here's a link to the God you worship. He looks absolutely nothing like the famous pictures. He is coming back soon to rapture His church. Please be prepared and stay away from the covid-19 vaccine. It belongs to satan. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pWerfZpojbp5hcksi=8jufiNHAAyp8BmmC

You are ADDED to The Church. One God. One Jesus. One Holy Spirit. One Bible. One way. Denominations are not in the Bible. Do not add to or take away from the Bible is plainly stated. Beginning, middle and end of the Bible. People!, wipe away taught traditions and study Gods word.

Baptist is a commandment not an advertisement. It is not a public show ritual. It is what a person does to be saved. No audience required. Here is water. What doth hinder me. No audience. At the prison. Souls wanted to be saved. They were baptized within the hour.

There is one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is over all, in all, and living through all. However, he has given each one of us a special gift through the generosity of Christ. Ephesians 4:5,6,7

Correct Amen. Baptism is that we are repenting from our sins by knowing the Truth, JESUS CHRIST and the Love of the Father through His Son Jesus Christ by knowing the Word Of God.Then it comes on the Baptism of The Holy Spirit Which is very important in our lives as the promise of God Almighty Abba Father. For Kids and children I believe they are not matured enough to know the reality and seriousness of sin so how its possible to make them repent for their sins by their own self by taking the decision for the baptism because Jesus never said go and Baptise the children or kids or never red in the Word the Baptism of Children, Because it took me almost 33 years to understand the seriousness of the sins even so many times I have to struggle and fight hard against the temptations from this world but by the Grace of Jesus Christ I don't lose this battle He makes ne overcome. Hallelujah. Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit. So this is not just an act of flesh but its all about our new birth, new inner man and woman from their spirits. The old died with Christ and the new person resurrected from His death with the Christ and lives for Jesus and in Jesus. This is the fight against the Satan and sin which every believer has to fight. No one is perfect and anyone can fall in to the temptation and can commit the sin but thing is there is forgiveness in Christ Jesus if we repent and be careful for the next time and mostly people win this battle against the sin and Satan through Christ Jesus Who strengthens us in our journey. Hallelujah. Amen. Every one is free to take their decisions I am not here to criticize or to judge others just tried to share what I understand as a believer. God bless you brother exceedingly abundantly in every area of your life in Jesus Precious Name Amen.

I have a question. I have seen some where they cover the nose. Is this not important?

Baptism is nit required, Paul said i have not come to baptise, Paul is our example accirding to the mystry he received unto salvation.

Can you be baptizing be tipping water over the head not like the way you explain it? With hands on pray 🙏 not cross hands

Do you think the sprinkling kind of baptism is valid? Or not? You didn't quite give your opinion.

You say "we prefer the old way" but yet don't bother to say whether you think just the sprinkling kind is valid or not.

I live in a different world from Pastor Rick. It's called the real world and it's not biblical.

ACTS 2:38, John 3:5-7.

🙏👍🙏🙏

How about baptizing someone the way they were baptized in the Bible? In the name of Jesus

Baptism is serious. Why are these women laughing unless you are a comedian 🫣🤨

My church does make you stand up and do a testimony to share/witness. Its because of this that I have held off.

Where does Roman’s 6 say anything about water? Answer… it doesn’t!! Water baptism was John’s baptism for repentance unto the remission of sins ( mark 1:4). This is the baptism Peter talked about in acts on the day of Pentecost! There are many different types of baptisms . It depends on who is doing it and what the medium is. Jesus was baptized into pain and suffering…. Was water involved? He also baptized followers with the Spirit! Did He ever use water? No not once!! This is exactly why Paul said he was glad he didn’t baptize many( water) The baptism talked about in Roman’s 6, gal 3:27 is literally the Spirit of God making His home in us( putting Christ on like a garment) it does not involve water… Christ( the anointing )is the medium! The reason your preach the doctrine of baptism this way is because you run away from what repentance and it importantance and place . Unless you repent ( turn from sin) first… you cannot be a disciple. The Spirit will NOT inhabit an unclean vessel ( 1corth6). You cannot be a sinner and be saved ( found nowhere in scripture) there is zero… nada … none … scripture saying “ Jesus on the inside working on the outside “! Instead you find jude4, 1 corth 6:9-10,2corth7:1, Romans 6:1-2, 13:14, gal5:19-21,eph4:31,5:3-4,col3:5-9, Titus 2:11-12,1 Peter 1:13-15… practically every book in the Bible tells us to do this … repent( quit sinning) and be obedient!( deny yourself, take up your cross and follow Him)!! But sadly most will skip these… say something like “ that’s impossible “ or “ you’re trying to save yourself “! You can’t quit sinning( which is crazy… you chose to sin… choose to stop!)

I wish we could baptize ourselves. Its been very hard to find a church or pastor or really anyone to baptize me. Every single person i have talked to tells me no because I dont belong to their church. Its so hard in these times

How do I find the small group for The Purpose Driven Life? It is through Saddlebrook Church.

Supposed to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ if your Christian. This is the Catholics that do this way

And the name of the Father, the son, and the holy ghost is "Jesus".

John 3:3-8 you must be born again to see the kingdom of heaven.

Baptism is required for salvation: Acts 2:38 - Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Acts 22:16 And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord. Mark 16:16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. Baptism for washing away of our sins was not incorporated until Jesus death. Romans 6: 3-5 Sinners Prayer will not save you: James 2:24 - Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. Once Saved Always Saved: Hebrews 10:26 - If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left. I believe that becoming a Christian begins with an absolute faith in Jesus Christ as God's only Son and that such strong faith motivates one to confess his or her faith, repent of sins, and be baptized for the remission of sins. This is drawn from: John 3:16, Romans 10:9-10, Acts 3:19, Acts 2:38 and Mark 16:16. (There is no verse anywhere in the entire Bible that speaks of the sinner's prayer as a means of salvation.) God's Plan of Salvation: Hear: Acts 15:7 Believe: John 8: 21, 24 Repent: Acts 17: 30, 31 Confess: Acts 8: 36-38 Be baptized: Acts: 2:38 Acts 22:16 REMAIN FAITHFUL Hebrews 3 12-14 1 Corinthians 10:12 God Bless, i hope this helps to clarify Gods plan for our salvation that is required to inherit the Kingdom of Heaven.

Not essential for salvation The baptism of the Holy Spirit Is the saving power Read acts8v9.25

It shows where my heart is, an advertisement to everyone!! I am so looking forward to doing it! It will be one of the most important days and event in my life!! Jesus knows how much I love Him, but I need to obey Him by following His word and His example!!

Awesome Rick! I will remember what you said about baptism is the outward showing of the inside faith in Christ! Like a wedding ring doesn't make you married, but it shows you're married and not ashamed of it! I'm sure I will share that if I explain baptism to someone!

what a bunch of childish nonsense.

I'm going to baptize my daughter and I couldn't of done it with out this video. Thank you
