To God be the glory. I n continuation of The teachings of our lord Jesus Christ, we studied
THE DOCTRINE OF BAPTISM #.
I Was taught that baptism is the washing away of sin. The book of Titus 3:5 explained it as the washing of the regeneration and renewing of the holy ghost. Baptism is a commandment of God. It is made for those who are under the law because it is the law of God.
WHERE IS BAPTISM DONE
According to Ezra, it says that whatever is commanded by the God of heaven should be done in the house of God which is the church of God. This shows that the obedience of the law is done in the house of God. The house of God is the church of God and it is the pillar and ground of the truth. So, baptism should be done in the house of God that is the church of the living God. Matthew 28:19, Jesus commanded his disciples to go into the world and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the father and of the son and of the holy ghost. Peter also said, be baptized in the name of Jesus. The word ""IN" shows that there is a particular place where baptism should take place. In the name, means where God's name is. The question is, where is the name of God? Ephesians 3:14 made us to understand that God has a household and family in heaven and earth. The church of God is the household of God. Deuteronomy 12:5, taught us that there is a place chosen by God of all the tribes to put his name there. 2 chronicles 7:16 God mentioned a house which is forever. God has chosen a house where his name will be forever and it is the house of God which is the church of God. The church of God is God's eternal purpose. The book of Ephesians 3:10 referenced it. Through the church, God will make known his wisdom according to his eternal purpose.
In summary, it is in the church of God that true baptism is received because Ephesians 4:4 made us to understand that there is one body and one spirit. Let's not be deceived, the body is the church of God and there will we get true baptism.
