Matthew 3:13b-17

Luke 3:1-3

Matthew 28:19

Acts 2:36-41

Galatians 3:26,27

Romans 6:3-5Matthew 3:13b-17Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John. But John tried to deter him, saying, I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?Jesus replied,Let it be so now; it is proper for us to do this to fulfill all righteousness.Then John consented.As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water.

At that moment heaven was opened,and he saw the Spirit of Goddescending like a dove and alighting on him.And a voice from heavensaid, This is my Son,whom I love; with him I am well pleased.

Luke 3:1-3In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesarwhen Pontius Pilatewas governor of Judea, Herodtetrarch of Galilee, his brother Philip tetrarch of Iturea and Traconitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abileneduring the high-priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas,the word of God came to Johnson of Zechariahin the wilderness.He went into all the country around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.Matthew 28:19Therefore go and make disciples of all nations,baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,Acts 2:36-41Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lordand Messiah.When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, Brothers, what shall we do?Peter replied, Repent and be baptized,every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins.And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.The promise is for you and your childrenand for all who are far offfor all whom the Lord our God will call.With many other words he warned them; and he pleaded with them, Save yourselves from this corrupt generation.

Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their numberthat day.

Galatians 3:26,27So in Christ Jesus you are all children of Godthrough faith,for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.Romans 6:3-5Or dont you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?We were therefore buried with him through baptism into deathin order that, just as Christ was raised from the deadthrough the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life. For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we will certainly also be united with him in a resurrection like his.

Acts 16:33-34Infant Baptism (Covenant) ViewBaptism is largely an initiatory rite into the covenant people of God.

Continuation of the Abrahamic Covenant.

New Testament equivalent to Old Testament circumcision

It does not save.Scriptural SupportGalatians 3:28,29 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's descendants, heirs according to promise.Scriptural SupportColossians 2:11,12 In him you were also circumcisedwith a circumcision not performed by human hands. Your whole self ruled by the fleshwas put off when you were circumcised byChrist, having been buried with him in baptism,in which you were also raised with him through your faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead.Mode of BaptismSprinkling
