DO YOU NEED TO BE BAPTIZED TO BE SAVED?

If you’re living under a broken covenant with Yahweh, which all un-baptized, backslidden, unregenerate sinners, divorced people, truce breakers, oath breakers, adulterers and Fornicators are rebels that are currently lost because sin lords itself over them, against them, sometimes against their own will because sin is spiritual a powerful consequence of evil rebellion against the Kingdom of Yahweh.

Did any of this hit home with you or loved one’s you have?

Then they or you need to be baptized into Christ, into His death, Burial, and resurrection to rise above the Old covenant with sin and death, and the spiritual power of sin, to live a new life in Yahshua, Jesus the Christ.

The evidence of salvation is not simply another tongue or language known or unknown.

The evidence of a new life in Christ is being an image bearer, bearing the Image of Christ in your body naturally and spiritually through rebirth and remission of those past sins against your own body and against Yahweh.

How do we truly forsake the sin and the faults of the old man?

The first step towards our eternal home is humbling ourselves to Yahshua through the scriptures, and thereby becoming prepared and worthy of the promise of being born again from above.

Jesus said in John 3:3 “³Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

You can’t put New wine in Old skins they will not contain the New wine they will break and spill just as an unregenerate person can only be a part-time witness bearing both rotten and some good fruit continually!

Do you need to be baptized?

ASK YOURSELF, IS THE SCRIPTURES RIGHT, OR IF YOU’RE RIGHT?

What is Baptism?

It's the watery grave of the old man to die as it was into Christ's saving Name and Death as Christ commanded in Luke 24:45-47,

Baptism makes a new start where the prior covenants of bondage to sin, divorce, broken oaths and truces and signs of circumcision are annulled in the spiritual death of the old man of sin.

The Jews had the physical sign of the covenant by circumcision but it was a temporary sign in the flesh with eternal benefits, though that sign would dissolve in death with their own flesh.

Baptism is truly spiritual in nature because it is part of the miraculous door Yahshua, Jesus Christ, that leads to life or without it ends in death spiritually.

The witness of our being dead buried and resurrected with Christ through our obedience and baptism is standing now, resurrected in the temple, in the heavens as a priest and witness forever.

The conquering King of Glory represents all who submit and come through the way Christ has prepared for the faithful.

Paul used the power of death to example how marriage was not able to be annulled unless one of the two in covenant died. Many today do not understand the power of covenants or the power of death by baptism into Christ, that truly breaks the chains of bondage to these broken prior covenants after sins of one or the other has lead to the destruction of them, but can never truly annul them apart from death.

• Romans 6:3-7 (KJV)  

• Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?  

• 4  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.  

• 5  (For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death), we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:  

• 6  Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.  

• 7  For he that is dead is freed from sin.

 

Why can’t the modern Church understand the power of Baptism into the Name of Yahshua, Jesus the Christ?

Because baptism, it is Spiritual preparation for life, in Nature, as the life is when it leaves the body in death and when God places life and breath into a little Child at conception.

Without the spiritual work of Yahweh, the natural would not be sacred, that’s why abortion is thought by many to be nothing because they have no spiritual awareness of the miracles of Yahweh nor the power Death and of New Life through His son Yahshua, Jesus.

And yes, many discount the need of Baptism even as they discount the sin of abortion today as nothing!

Jesus Words are clear, you do need to Repent and there needs to be remission of your sins.

How?

Repentance and remission go together you can't truly seize hold of one without taking hold of the other else there is no evidence of your conversion which is common in this age of apostasy and antichrist doctrines!

You cannot live for very long if you are not fully birthed from the birth canal. In fact a half birth left to long will lead to the disaster of carelessness and an aborted birth.

That’s why some are found praising at Church for awhile and living the life of sin and rebellion like a well seasoned rebel sinner through the week!

Many want to argue that they need nothing that they are good because their heart told them so?

WARNING!
Jeremiah 17

⁹The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? 

¹⁰I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings. 

¹¹As the partridge sitteth on eggs, and hatcheth them not; so he that getteth riches, and not by right, shall leave them in the midst of his days, and at his end shall be a fool. 

If anyone, God is not a respecter of persons, dies that has resented, denied, and rebelled or fought against the Gospel of Yahshua, Jesus Christ they will have no place or appointment with Him in the Kingdom for there is but one King of Glory!

Yahshua, Jesus, He commanded the Apostles to tarry in Jerusalem until they were empowered with the Holy Ghost of promise, and they exampled exactly what Jesus had told them to do when He opened their understanding just before He ascended into the heavens in Luke 24:45-47

How was the command of Christ carried out by the apostles when the day of Pentecost had fully come?

If you want your day of Pentecost to come, to be fully empowered to live a saved and sanctified life, stop wresting against Christ, and against the scriptures to your own destruction.

Simply follow the Example Christ himself laid down as the foundation stone.

Yahshua, Christ will not make a mistake about what you need to do to be saved throughout the ages He is Lord and Judge of all!

The witness bears record of their memorial in the book of the Revelation as to the work, loyalty and the honor exampled by the Apostles for their total surrender to the Gospel the will of Yahweh, through Yahshua, Jesus Christ!

Rev 21:14

¹⁴And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

WILL YOU BE AMONG THOSE WHO KNOW AND ARE KNOWN OF YAHSHUA, JESUS WHEN YOU LEAVE THIS LIFE OR WILL HE SAY DEPART FROM ME I DON’T KNOW WHO YOU ARE?

2023 is a great time to be baptized if you have not fully obeyed the Gospel prescribed for your disease in Luke 24:45-47 and Acts 2:36-38 THE TIME IS NOW!

Acts 2:36-40

³⁶ Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made the same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.

³⁷ Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?

³⁸ Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

³⁹ For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.

⁴⁰ And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.
