Q. Who can be baptised? A. Believers may be baptised. Whoever believes and is baptised will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. (Mark 16:16) See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptised? And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.... And he baptised him. (Acts 8:36-38 KJV) "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" They replied, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved. "...He and all his family were baptised...they had come to believe in God. (Acts 16:30-34) Those who have repented of their sins may be baptised. Repent, and be baptised. (Acts 2:38) Acts 16:30-34 says the jailer "and all his family" were baptised.

When do you get baptised? Philip the evangelist baptised the Ethiopian eunuch immediately after he received the gospel and Cornelius and his household were baptised with water after God poured out the Holy Spirit on them. ( Acts 8: 26-40 and Acts 10:24-48). Jesus however, was baptised with water at the very beginning of his early ministry (Matthew 3: 3-15). In other words, there is no fixed order to follow to being baptised with water. It is an act of obedience we should fulfil as soon as time and opportunity permit

Why should believers be baptised? A. Jesus was baptised & commanded His followers to: (Matt:15-16) Go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. (Matt. 28:19) Repent and be baptised. (Acts 2:38, Peter speaking) So he ordered that they be baptised. (Acts 10:48, Peter speaking) I also baptised the household of Stephanas. (I Cor. 1:16, Paul speaking) We are baptised into the death, burial and resurrection of Christ. Having been buried with him in baptism and raised with him through your faith in the power of God. (Col. 2:12) Don't you know that all of us who were baptised into Christ Jesus were baptised into his death? We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life. If we have been united with him in his death, we will certainly also be united with him in his resurrection. (Rom. 6:3-5) There is a remission of our sins (including a "release from" them [Amplified Bible]) in water baptism. Repent...and be baptised...for the forgiveness of and release from your sins. (Acts 2:38 Amplified Bible)

How to get baptised. Water baptism in the bible involves total immersion (or dipping) in water (Matthew 3:16, Acts 8: 38-39). A river, stream, ocean or even a large tub of water can all be suitable. When going for baptism it is important to bring a towel and fresh pair of cloths to change into afterwards. It is also wise to come along prepared to share your testimony of how you became a Christian. Invite friends and family along to the event if possible. This is an excellent opportunity to share the gospel. Your Pastor or even a mature Christian can perform the baptism as long as they know what they are doing. Come to your water baptism prepared to answer these questions in the affirmative. 1. Have you accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour? 2. Have you repented of your sins? 3. Have you decided to live your life for your Lord Jesus Christ? The person baptising you then says: Upon the confession of your faith, in the name of Jesus Christ. I baptise you into the name of the Father, of the Son and the Holy Spirit. into the name of the Lord Jesus Christ Acts 10:46-48, Matthew 28:19 (Dips you under water): that like Jesus was raised from the dead by the Glory of the Father, even so you also shall rise to walk in newness of His life. Amen.
