“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit,” ~ Matthew 28:19 ?

“Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.””
Matthew 28:18-20 NLT

“And then he told them, “Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone. Anyone who believes and is baptized will be saved. But anyone who refuses to believe will be condemned.”

Yes! But if someone is dying and you share the gospel to him he will not go to hell because you did not dipped him in water right? A person go to heaven because of believing in Jesus (thief on the cross proove this point)
-
Yes.
-
Yes, more than that he commanded them to be born again!
-
???
-
Baptism isn’t required for salvation.
Man on cross.
1Corinthians 1v17….. Christ didn’t send me to baptise but to preach the gospel…… -
Explicitly? I think He didn’t.
-
Yes so did the apostle peter
-
Very much so. Read Matthew 28.
-
Yes, and?
-
Didnt we go through this one yesterday,?
-
His believers, YES, because they ARE saved, not to be saved! From His days up to now, no one is ever saved by being baptized!
-
Yes in matt 28
-
Yes
-
Depends on who you believe. I believe He said you should…in the Trinitarian way…
-
Yes he did. People need to stop ignoring the Bible based off a teaching that didn’t start until 1400s.
-
Being baptized is being saved. Christuan Baptism by Christ Himself in the Holy Spirit is salvific. Water baptism is the removal of dirt from the body when getting into the temple . This is a Jewish ritual. At this time we are always baptizing ourselves to protect ourselves from the COVID-19
-
He said go…….. that’s a command…… not an option.
-
Wow , such a difference in opinion. He commanded us to baptize new disciples, in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and teach them. He commanded us to repent and believe the gospel. He showed us by example and through his commands. Baptism is an evidence that we have repented and believed through obedience. Everyday after that should evidence of our salvation as we walk by F-forsaking A-all I T- trust H-him. Happy resurrection day everyone! He is risen, just as he said.
-
Yes, we must baptize our children.
-
Yes
-
Ummmmmm….. Baptism doesn’t save you, Christ does….. just saying
-
Sort of. He commanded his disciples to go make other disciples and to baptize them.
Matthew 28:18-20 “And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
However, baptism isn’t necessary for salvation, but we are still to be baptized.
-
Yes by calling upon the Father, Son and Holy Spirit
-
Yes, 2 Corinthians 5:17
-
Yes, actually he commanded the apostles to.
-
Yes baptized in the holy spirit and fire. But should, key word SHOULD, its not what saves you Jesus does, do a public water baptism as an outward expression that you believe and will follow Jesus and you’re not scared to proclaim it to the world!
-
Yes. But He did not say that it saves them.
-
Yes, Jesus commands us to be baptized. But just because Jesus commands it doesn’t mean that we aren’t saved if we aren’t baptized. Jesus commanded many things that we fail daily to keep.

Ac 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for (Eis) the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy
Ghost.1519. eiv eis, ice
primary preposition; to or into (indicating the point reached or entered), of place, time, or (figuratively) purpose (result, etc.); also in adverbial phrases:–(abundant-)ly, against, among, as, at, (back-)ward, before, by, concerning, + continual, + far more exceeding, for (intent, purpose), fore, + forth, in (among, at, unto, -so much that, -to), to the intent that, + of one mind, + never, of, (up-)on, + perish, + set at one again, (so) that, therefore(-unto), throughout, til, to (be, the end, -ward), (here-)until(-to), …ward, (where-)fore, with. Often used in composition with the same general import, but only with verbs (etc.) expressing motion (literally or figuratively).Notice the Greek word eis translated in Acts 2;38 for. If you say that you go to the grocery store for groceries, for means to acquire. If you go to prison for your crimes, for means because of. Understanding the various meanings of a word suddenly puts Acts 2:38 in complete agreement with the rest of scripture which says,
Joh 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: {power: or, the right, or, privilege}
Joh 16:9 Of sin, because they believe not on me;
Ac 16:31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
Ro 4:24 But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead;
1Ti 1:16 Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting.
1Jo 5:13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. -
Baptism
Water Baptism adds nothing to salvation.
There was a baptism of John the Baptizer which was a preparation unto repentance.
Mt 3:11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit
In the process of salvation we are baptized by Christ with the indwelling Holy Spirit unto newness of life. Tit 3:5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Spirit.
Joh 1:33 And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Spirit
. Mr 1:8 I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit.
Joh 1:33 And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Spirit.
Ac 1:5 For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days hence.
Ac 10:47 Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Spirit as well as we?
We are baptized into the body of Christ by the holy Spirit.
1Co 12:13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.
At this moment we are born again and have become children of God and we have everlasting life. We follow the command of Christ in water baptism as a symbol of what has happened to us spiritually and as our testimony and our first step of obedience in the Christian life.. -
Did Jesus command His disciples to wait in Jesusalem to be baptized in the Holy Spirit? Yes or No?
-
Did Jesus command his disciples to wait in Jerusalem to be baptized in the Holy Spirit? Yes or No? Quit taking this relevant question down, Gonzales. You know the answer is yes. But you would be appalled if someone suggested that anyone who failed to attend the upper room of Acts two was disqualified from salvation thereby. Similarly, it is just as appalling for you or anybody else to suggest that a person who failed to get water baptized would forfeit salvation thereby. The parallel is fair. But baptismal regenerationists don’t like logic or Scripture that defeats their narrative. Now are you going to censor me a second time? If you do, you show exactly how unteachable you are. Think, man, think!
-
Yes and yes!! Water baptism is what brings you into union with the blood of Christ. We are BAPTISE into his death.
Roman’s 6:3-4
-
Baptism is symbolic. It is an outward expression that Jesus has saved you and it symbolizes the death of your old life and your Resurrection into a new christ-centered life
-
If we do great maybe those who do will be rewarded for that and those that do not will not be rewarded. But it will not forsake them.

Matthew 3:15
[15]And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him. -
Matthew 28:19
[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: -
Are there any cases in the NT where a believer wasn’t baptized immediately on believing?
-
We don’t have to be baptized to be saved (thief on the cross) but if we can, we should do it in honor of God.
-
This question is to all you people who believe you have to be baptized in order to be saved. With this state-mandated social distancing how can a person be water baptized? Since they can’t be water baptized then the state has effectively stopped your salvation, right?
-
Do you need a bible? I have extra ones so you can find the correct answer to your question. Which I would highly suggest
