Repent and Be Baptized!

4 John came baptizing in the wilderness and preaching a baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.
--Mark 1:4
This show baptism is associated with repentance.

37 Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Men and brethren, what shall we do?”

38 Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
--Acts 2:36-38
Baptism with true repentance is associated with receiving the holy spirit.


9 It came to pass in those days that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John in the Jordan. 
10 And immediately, coming up from the water, He saw the heavens parting and the Spirit descending upon Him like a dove. 
11 Then a voice came from heaven, “You are My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
--Mark 1:9-11
This verse shows that baptism is by immersion.

15 Then He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to the whole creation. 
16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.
--Mark 16:15-16
Baptism is part of the great commission.

Acts 9:18
Paul was baptized

30 ...“Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”
31 So they said, “Believe on the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your household.”
...Right away he and all his family were baptized.
--Acts 16:30-31
Baptism is the first act after believing.

26 For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. 
27 For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 
28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
--Gal 3:26-28

3 ...do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death?
--Romans 6:3
We are baptized into Jesus and his death.
