Sunday
Morning: June 29, 2003
Text: Galatians 3:27 "For as
many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on
Christ."
Hebrews
6:1-2 "Therefore leaving the principles of
the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the
foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, 2.
Of the doctrine of baptisms (washings), and of laying on of
hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment."
1
Corinthians 6:9-11 "Know ye not
that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not
deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate,
nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10. Nor thieves, nor covetous,
nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of
God. 11. And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are
sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus,
and by the Spirit of our God."
Ephesians
5:26-27 "That he might sanctify (John
17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth:
thy word is truth.) and cleanse it (the Church) with the washing
of water by the word, 27. That he might present it to
himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but
that it should be holy and without blemish."
Hebrews
10:22 "Let us draw near with a true heart in
full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience,
and our bodies washed with pure water."

Corinthians 6:20 "For ye are bought with a price:
therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are
God's."
Matthew
20:22-23 “But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not
what ye ask. Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized
with the baptism that I am baptized with? They say unto him, We are
able. 23. And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and
be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but to sit
on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but it shall be given
to them for whom it is prepared of my Father.”
Mark
1:4 “John did baptize in the wilderness,
and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission
of sins.”
Matthew
4:17
"From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom
of heaven is at hand."
John
10:40 “And (Jesus escaped and) went away
again beyond Jordan into the place where John at first
baptized; and there he abode.”
Deuteronomy
12:10 “But when ye go over Jordan, and
dwell in the land which the LORD your God giveth you to inherit, and when
he giveth you rest from all your enemies round about, so that ye
dwell in safety;”
Joshua
1:11 “Pass through the host, and command the people,
saying, Prepare you victuals; for within three days ye shall pass
over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land,
which the LORD your God giveth you to possess it.”

Peter 3:21 “The like figure whereunto even baptism
doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of
the flesh (alone), but the answer of a good conscience toward
God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:”
Hebrews
9:14 “How much more shall the blood of
Christ, who through the eternal [age] Spirit (of
the kingdom age) offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience
from dead works to serve the living God?”
Matthew
3:13-17 “Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan
unto John, to be baptized of him. 14. But John forbad him,
saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me? 15. And
Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it
becometh us to fulfill all righteousness. Then he suffered him. 16. And
Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the
heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a
dove, and lighting upon him: 17. And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This
is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”

Peter 1:17 “For he received from God the Father honour
and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory,
This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
Acts
2:38-39 "Then Peter said unto them (brethren),
Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus
Christ for the remission [release] of sins, and ye shall
receive the gift (the promise, agelasting life) 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."
Acts
2:41 "Then they that gladly received his
word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto
them about three thousand souls."
Acts
16:29-33 “Then he called for a light, and sprang in,
and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas, 30. And brought
them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? 31. And
they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved,
and thy house. 32. And they spake unto him the word of
the Lord [God], and to all that were in his house.
33.
And he took
them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes;
and was baptized, he and all his, straightway.”
Luke 8:10-11 "And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries
of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might
not see, and hearing they might not understand. 11. Now the parable is
this: The seed is the word of God."
Galatians 3:27 "For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ
have put on Christ."
Ephesians
4:5 "One Lord, one faith, one baptism,"
Romans
6:1-8 "What shall we say then? Shall we continue
in sin, that grace may abound? 2. God forbid.
How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer
therein? 3. Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into
Jesus Christ were baptized into his death [thanatos]?
4. Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death
[the thanatos]: 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. 8.
Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with
him:"
Matthew
28:19 "Go ye therefore, and teach all
nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and
of the Holy Ghost:"
