“The substance of faith: Whoever is baptized,IS BEING BORN INTO A NEW LIFE… IF NOT: THEY SIMPLY GO DOWN INTO THE WATER A DRY SINNER AND COME UP, A WET SINNER!”

3. John’s baptism was the baptism of repentance(Matthew 3:11),
but Jesus was sinless and had no need of repentance.
HE was baptized to fulfill all righteousness. Matthew 3:15
Baptism is a transition between 2 conditions:
....HIS life as a carpenter…
…The beginning of HIS Ministry

which we Identify with
JESUS’
DEATH
BURIAL
RESURRECTION

7. DEATH
Dying to our old self
Willing to live a life that pleases
and honors HIM

8. BURIAL
BURRY OUR OLD HABITS
EVERYTHING THAT WAS
PART OF OUR OLD NATURE

9. “WE CANNOT START OVER IF WE CONTINUE
TO CARRY AROUND THE THINGS FROM OUR
PAST.
EVERYTHING THAT WAS PART OF OUR OLD
NATURE SHOULD SYMBOLICALLY REMAIN IN
THE WATER.”

11. RESURRECTION
When we come up out of the
water; we are new Creations
Free from slavery of SIN
NEW LIFE NO LONGER
BELONGS TO US IT BELONGS TO
GOD.

INTO THE WATER A DRY
SINNER
AND COME UP
A WET SINNER!”
