Numbers 6:27 “So They Shall Put My Name On The Children Of Israel, and I Will Bless Them.

There Is Only One Biblical Way To Be Baptized Church And That Is In The Blessed Name In JESUS CHRIST...( Luke 24:47 ) And ( Acts 2:38 ) And ( Eph 4:5 )
Water baptism is an act of obedience that follows conversion to portray symbolically the washing away of our sins. Water baptism calls for immersion instead of sprinkling. Many groups that have only sprinkled in times past are now seeing that the Scriptural method is total water immersion. The Greek word "baptism" means to immerse, submerge and emerge.
The baptism itself does not bring salvation; salvation inspires the water baptism. It should be the first thing we do after we are "born again." Those who have received Jesus in their hearts should desire to follow Him in this ordinance. Jesus, Himself came to John the Baptist to receive His water baptism because He was to take the sins of the world at His death. These sins would be washed away by God for those who put their trust in Him.

"The next day John sees Jesus coming unto him, and said, Behold the Lamb of God, which takes away the sin of the world. This is He of whom I said After me cometh A Man which is preferred before me: for He was before me. And I knew Him not: but that He should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water" ( John 1:29-31 ).
Anyone who receives water baptism must realize what it means to receive it; therefore, infant baptism is not Scriptural. One must repent and be saved to be baptized. Water baptism portrays the burial of the old man and his works of death and the raising out of the water into the new life in Christ.

An infant cannot repent. However, parents can dedicate their babies to the Lord, as there are many accounts of this throughout the Bible. Hannah prayed a beautiful prayer when she dedicated her son Samuel to the Lord, "For this child, I prayed; and the Lord has given me my petition which I asked of Him: Therefore also I have lent Him to the Lord; as long as he lives he shall be lent to the Lord" (I Samuel 1:27-28).

John's baptism of repentance was to prepare the way for the baptism of the Holy Ghost by Jesus Christ.
"I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but He that comes after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to untie: He shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire" ( Matthew 3:11 ).
"And John acknowledge the truth, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it rested upon Him. And I knew Him not: but He that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom you shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on Him, the same is He which baptize with the Holy Ghost. And I saw, and acknowledge record that this is the Son of God according to ( Isaiah 9;6 )
Zechariah 14:9 And the Lord shall be King over all the earth. In that day it shall be— “The Lord is One,” And His Name One.
Once we are "born again" the Lord instructs us to be baptized in water as an act of obedience to His word and command what has happened to us Spiritually. ( Read Eph 4:5 )
How can we preach the gospel to our world if we the Body of Christ are not in CHRIST JESUS LOVE AND UNITY?
What We Believe It Must Be Written And Found In God's Word"
