SEVEN REASONS I DID NOT BAPTIZE CONVERTS

  • I did not baptize them because Jesus was baptized.

 

  • I did not baptize them to wash away their sins.

 

  • I did not baptize them into the local church.

 

  • I did not baptize them because of John the Baptist.

 

  • I did not baptize them to make them Baptist.

 

  • I did not baptize them because of the “great commission.”?

 

  • I did not baptize them because I am a Baptist

 

Then why did I baptize the saved? I baptized them by immersion to picture the gospel Paul preached. That gospel was the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ for our sins. Paul is the Apostle to the church, the body of Christ. He baptized converts, and so did I, and for that reason only.

    Great points pastor! When Christians get an understanding of dispensational truth, it clears up a lot of false doctrine. Those who don’t differentiate between the gospel of John the Baptist and that of Paul, will no doubt miss the wisdom of your 7 points. Thanks for sharing!
