Biblical Foundations of Baptism

The necessity of Baptism is underscored by Jesus’ own example and His commands. In John 3:5, Jesus states, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit.” This passage highlights the essential role of Baptism in spiritual rebirth, emphasizing that it is through this sacrament that original sin is washed away and one becomes a member of the Church.

Moreover, in Mark 16:16, Jesus explicitly states, “Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.” Here, Jesus connects faith and Baptism directly to salvation, suggesting that while belief is foundational, Baptism is a critical step in the process of receiving God’s grace.

The Great Commission

After His resurrection, Jesus commissioned His disciples in Matthew 28:19-20: “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.” This command underscores Baptism’s importance as the first step. It is through Baptism that individuals are welcomed into the Church and initiated into the life of faith.

The Early Church's Practice

The Acts of the Apostles further illustrate the practice and necessity of Baptism in the early Christian community. In Acts 2:38, Peter responds to the crowd's inquiry about salvation by urging, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins.” This reflects the understanding that Baptism is intimately tied to the forgiveness of sins and the reception of the Holy Spirit.

Theological Implications

From a theological perspective, Baptism is viewed as a sacrament that imparts grace. Baptism is necessary for salvation, as it is through this sacrament that original sin is washed away.
