*The Fundamentals of the Faith* (III)

_Key Bible Text:_
*Of the DOCTRINE OF BAPTISMS, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. (Hebrews 6:2 (KJV)) 
_Bible Insight:_

It seems a lot have changed about how water baptism is being taught and practiced. We are safe to assume that the baptism which Hebrews 6:2 refers to, is water baptism and not Holy Spirit baptism. This is because Hebrews 6:4 places the subject of the Holy Spirit as among the matters of teachings or pursuit of perfection. 

Water baptism have been debated along different lines. One of them is whether it should be by immersion or not. Children are also claimed to be baptized at birth. The scriptures is sufficiently clear as to the place and purpose of water baptism. First, there is no doubt that Jesus himself submitted, preached and practiced full immersion water baptism. This should lay to rest any controversy whether it should be ideally by immersion or not. 

Furthermore, all through scriptures, water baptism followed almost immediately one decides to place their faith in God, and have repented from dead works of sin. The ordering of these three -- repentance, faith and baptism is certainly sequential. Baptism is signifying that the believer have passed through death of Christ and have reason to a newness of life. And we must remember that there were no baptismal classes back in the 1st century church. 

Have you been baptized since you started following Christ? 

*MEDITATION:*
*Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.* (Romans 6:4 (KJV))
