Is Baptism Essential
To The Salvation Of
The Soul?
2
• Many people say NO – but
God says YES
• It is not “water salvation”
• Jesus is the Savior – not the
water
3
• Every man who is saved will
be saved by the grace of God
• Naaman – 2 Kings 5
• Naaman was cleansed by the
grace of God when he met the
conditions given
4
• When we meet the conditions
God has set forth in order for
us to be saved – we are still
saved by the His grace
• “One’s reaction to the
commands of Christ reflects
the condition of his heart”

Mk. 16:16
• He that believeth and is
baptized shall be saved; but
he that believeth not shall be
damned.
8
• He that eateth and digesteth
shall live: but he that eateth
not shall die.
• 2 conditions necessary to life
(like Mk. 16:16) and one
necessary to death

REMISSION

Acts 2:38 – Peter told a group of
believers what to do

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.

to them gave he power to
become the sons of God, even

name:

GETTING
INTO
CHRIST
12

• All spiritual blessings are in
Christ – Eph. 1:3

is in Christ – Eph. 1:7

2:10
14

Christ!
15

put on Christ.

• AND
GETTING
INTO THE
DEATH OF
CHRIST
16
17
• Christ died that men might be
saved
• To get into his death is to enter
the place where one benefits
from the blessings that come
through his death
18
Heb. 9:22
• And almost all things are by
the law purged with blood; and
without shedding of blood is no
remission.
19
Heb. 10:4
• For it is not possible that the
blood of bulls and of goats
should take away sins.
20
Rom. 5:9
• Much more then, being now
justified by his blood, we shall
be saved from wrath through
him.
21
Jn. 19:34
• But one of the soldiers with a
spear pierced his side, and
forthwith came there out blood
and water
22
Rom. 6:3
• Know ye not, that so many of
us as were baptized into Jesus
Christ were baptized into his
death?
Acts 22:16 – Sins washed away
when baptized
• And now why tarriest thou?
arise, and be baptized, and
wash away thy sins, calling on
the name of the Lord.

1 Pet. 3:20-21
• Which sometime were
disobedient, when once the
longsuffering of God waited in
the days of Noah, while the ark
was a preparing, wherein few,
that is, eight souls were saved
by water…
26
• [21] The like figure whereunto
even baptism doth also now
save us (not the putting away
of the filth of the flesh, but the
answer of a good conscience
toward God,) by the
resurrection of Jesus Christ:
27
NKJV
• 20 who formerly were
disobedient, when once the
Divine longsuffering waited[a] in
the days of Noah, while the ark
was being prepared, in which a
few, that is, eight souls, were
saved through water…
28
• 21 There is also an antitype
which now saves us—baptism
(not the removal of the filth of
the flesh, but the answer of a
good conscience toward God),
through the resurrection of
Jesus Christ,
29
ESV
• because they formerly did not
obey, when God's patience
waited in the days of Noah,
while the ark was being
prepared, in which a few, that
is, eight persons, were brought
safely through water…
30
• 21 Baptism, which
corresponds to this, now saves
you, not as a removal of dirt
from the body but as an
appeal to God for a good
conscience, through the
resurrection of Jesus Christ,
31
Eph. 5:25-26
• Husbands, love your wives,
even as Christ also loved the
church, and gave himself for it;
That he might sanctify and
cleanse it (the church) with the
washing of water (baptism) by
the word
32
Eph. 2:8-9
• For by grace are ye saved
through faith; and that not of
yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Not of works, lest any man
should boast.
33
• The evidence we have
examined from God’s word
proves that no alien sinner can
be saved from sin without
being baptized by the authority
of Christ
