Study: The Lord’s command to preach the Gospel

Introduction

It’s been almost two months since I last updated this blog. I was very busy with ministry, work, studies, not to mention my computer which broke down and I couldn’t afford for a replacement until last Monday. Starting from today I will try my best to post updates regularly.

Since I have posted a lot of sermons I decided to publish something different today. The following is a small group study on “The Lord’s command to preach the Gospel” by Rev. Roy Isaac.

Lesson series: Water baptism – Part 3 (Final)

This entry is part 3 of 3 in the series Water baptism - Lesson series

1. What if I don’t get baptized? Will I lose my salvation?

A. Due to inadequate knowledge

A person who dies without getting baptized because of not fully knowing the Lord’s command to do so will not lose his place in heaven. It would be so similarly, if it is due to lack of time prior to death or other practical consideration.

Mark 16:16 “Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned”.

Baptism is not a Pre condition for salvation but rather a product that should follow.

About this series:

The following types of baptism are mentioned in the scriptures.
