Have you been Baptized with The Wrong Baptism? For example, who should be baptized? Well, Jesus answered that question when He said to His disciples, "Go you into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned". (This statement is found in the sixteenth Chapter of Mark, verses 15 and 16.) You will note that Jesus made believing a condition of baptism. Prior to Scriptural baptism one must be old enough to be taught the gospel and convinced enough to believe it. Obviously this rules out baby baptism since infants cannot meet the believing condition of baptism imposed by Jesus. Take the question: What is baptism? Again, the Bible is clear. Paul, one of Christ's authorized spokesmen, wrote a letter to the church in ancient Rome, the sixth book of the New Testament, commonly called Romans. In it he said, "Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death; that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, ... ... https://www.bible.ca/g-wrong-baptism.htm
