Introductory Thoughts

Baptism is a New Testament subject, a command of Jesus Christ and is for the remission of sin, yet there are some things baptism will not do.

New Testament baptism is very important, but we should never ascribe to it what the Lord has not.

I want to point out seven things baptism will not do.

Will Not Keep One from Being Tempted To Commit Sin Again

Temptation will come - Christ an example –Matthew 4:1-11.

Baptism does remove the guilt of sin, but does not make one immune to sin so that he no longer needs to be on guard.

It puts one into a relationship with Christ so that he can overcome temptation - 1 Corinthians 10:13.

Closing Thoughts

These are things baptism will not do.

But the Bible teaches that baptism:

Will save one.Is for the remission of sins.

Washes away one's sins.Puts one into Jesus Christ.

Put one in contact with the blood of Jesus.Puts one into the church.
