Matthew 28:19-20 HCSB
1 Corinthians 1:17 HCSB
Baptism is...
• a picture of a death and resurrection
• a picture of the cleansing we experience through Christ
• a picture of our new life in Christ
• a picture of being “all in” for Christ
• a picture of being placed into the church, the body of Christ
Romans 10:9 HCSB
"The Greek root-word baptizein means to plunge, immerse, sink; hence to wash…From Jewish rules of purification concerning ritual uncleanness the word gained a technical religious connotation implying “purification” from all that might exclude from God’s presence."–R.E.O. White
2 Corinthians 5:17 HCSB
"This conception of the baptismal pool as a grave in which the pre-Christian self and its ways are buried once and for all and from which a new self rises to a new quality of living…" –R.E.O. White
1 Corinthians 12:13 HCSB
