About this listen

 I want to write about one of the two ordinances the Lord Jesus left and instructed the church to follow and preserve. One of His ordinances is Holy Communion. Holy Communion contains two symbolic elements. The bread symbolic of His body causing us to remember Him (Luk 22:19). The juice/wine symbolic of His blood causing us to realize we are in the New Covenant (Luk 22:20). Most Christ followers can explain and pass this ordinance on to their children and can well tell anyone the meanings of Communion because of these two elements. The elements themselves teach and explain the ordinance plus help us hold onto the meaning. The ordinance I want to write about is water baptism. We know water baptism involves water, but most Christians are not positive what the water symbolizes and teaches. They don't know what is to happen when water baptized. Also, there’s confusion about how much water to use. Should we sprinkle, pour water on a person’s head, or dunk the person in water? Today there’s tremendous uncertainty and vagueness about the necessity and purpose of water baptism. Many Christ followers are ill-informed about water baptism's importance, so they are not water baptized. I fear many people reading have not been water baptized according to the Scriptures. Is there a proper way to water baptize a person? If so, what is it? Is it important to experience proper water baptism? Did you believe certain blessings come with water baptisms? Yes, there are specific blessings associated with water baptism, and the Lord wants you to have them all. Water Baptism is a most special part of the life of a believer. I designed this book to help us understand water baptism and why it is special. The book's purpose is to answer questions you have and develop understanding, belief, and faith in water baptism. Over years of study, ministry, and performing baptisms I learned people have questions about water baptism. A problem is they don't know what to ask. People feel they should experience baptism because, well, that's what they're supposed to do, but feel foolish asking questions. They feel they should know what water baptism is about. You get dunked, sprinkled, or somebody pours water on your head, right? No, there is so much more to know. The problem is no one's taught them. This should not be. Often people experienced water baptism, but no change occurred. So, another question occurs. "Did I experience baptism, or did I only get wet?" I hope to answer all your questions and help you. By the end of this book, you will understand water baptism. I pray what you learn stirs you, and you receive baptism if you have not. If you have, experiencing baptism again is a possibility. I want you comfortable with water baptism and know what is happening or happened. I want to answer the question "Why shouldn't I be baptized?" For thirty-one years I was the lead pastor and primary teaching pastor in a church. I've studied the Scriptures and the Bible going on fifty years now. If I'm not cautious, I'll think people know more about the Scriptures than they do. I need to remember if you are reading this book, you likely know little about the Scriptures. You want to know about water baptism and not become a theologian. I will try to keep it as clear as I can but give you as much information as possible. To understand water baptism we will need to do some Greek word studies, etc., but I promise I'll only do what is necessary. I wrote a short book about baptism years ago called "What Doth Hinder Me To Be Baptized." Its title is from the same passage of Scripture I titled this book. I used the King James English in the first book. I used the New International Version for this book's title. My point is I've included "What Doth Hinder Me to Be Baptized" at the end of this book. Several of the points I say again, but the points are worth repeating if they help someone. Bible Study Bibles & Bible Study Christianity
