Why Be Baptized? For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection." Here the Bible clearly describes the baptism which was taught and practiced in the early church and which puts one "into Jesus ... and were all baptized of him in the river of Jordan...". Again, in Mark Chapter 1, verse 9, we find that Jesus was baptized in the Jordan. "And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan." In John Chapter 3,verse 23, we find John's reason for selecting the place where he baptized those who came to him. "And John also was baptizing in Aenon near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized." ... If you believe in Jesus and want to receive the remission of your sins; as a penitent person, be buried with Christ in baptism to "wash away your sins".

Lesson 18: Obedience To The Gospel Master index of 25 studies: "Determine your salvation" Lesson 18 Obedience To The Gospel After Jesus had died for our sins, was resurrected and just before he ascended into heaven, he commanded his apostles in Mark 16:15-16, "And he said to them, Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned." Our Lord wanted the gospel preached to everyone. The word "gospel" literally means good news or good tidings. In Romans 1:16 the apostle Paul says, "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation for everyone who believes; for the Jew first, and also for the Greek." So we see that the gospel of Christ is God's only power unto salvation. It is by the gospel or good news that God saves us. What does the Bible say that the gospel is that saves us?
