03:07 WHEN YOU'RE DESPERATE, YOU'RE READY TO ACCEPT JUST ABOUT 03:09 ANYTHING. 03:11 AND SO NAAMAN, PRETTY SOON WORD REACHED THE KING AND HE MADE 03:15 PROVISIONS, AND HE TOOK HIS ESCORT AND IN A GREAT DEAL OF 03:19 MONEY TO PAY FOR HIS HEALING, TOOK ABOUT HALF A MILLION 03:21 DOLLARS IN GOLD AND SILVER AND CLOTHING--THAT'S ABOUT LIKE 03:25 MEDICAL BILLS TODAY-- TO GO TO THE PROPHET. 03:28 NOW, THE PROPHET WAS ELISHA. 03:30 ELISHA HAD NEVER HEALED ANYBODY BEFORE. 03:32 INCIDENTALLY, JESUS' NAME IN HEBREW IS YESHUA. 03:36 IT MEANS JEHOVAH IS SAVIOR. 03:39 ELISHA'S NAME IS ELOHIMSHUA. 03:41 IT MEANS GOD IS SAVIOR. 03:43 IT'S A VERY SIMILAR NAME. 03:44 INTERESTING THING ABOUT ELISHA, HE HAD A DOUBLE PORTION OF 03:47 ELIJAH'S SPIRIT. 03:49 NOBODY EVER CAME TO ELISHA WITH A PROBLEM THAT WAS TURNED AWAY. 03:53 HE WORKED A MIRACLE FOR EVERYBODY IN NEED WHETHER 03:56 THE WATER TASTED BAD OR THEIR BORROWED TOOLS WERE MISSING, 03:59 AND THAT'S HOW JESUS IS. 04:01 HE CARES ABOUT ALL OF OUR NEEDS, DOESN'T HE? 04:03 WELL, PRETTY SOON, NAAMAN MADE HIS WAY TO THE HOUSE OF ELISHA 04:07 AND ELISHA DOESN'T EVEN COME OUT TO SEE HIM. 04:10 HE SENDS A SERVANT. 04:12 YOU KNOW, JESUS OFTEN SENDS MESSENGERS INSTEAD OF SPEAKING 04:15 TO US DIRECTLY. 04:16 AND THE SERVANT SAYS, "GO WASH IN THE JORDAN RIVER SEVEN TIMES 04:21 AND YOUR FLESH WILL BE RESTORED." 04:22 EVIDENTLY HIS LEPROSY HAD ADVANCED TO THE PLACE WHERE HE 04:25 MAYBE WAS EVEN MISSING SOME OF HIS EXTREMITIES. 04:28 YOUR FLESH WILL BE RESTORED. 04:30 HE WAS IN PRETTY BAD SHAPE, AND YOU'LL BE CLEAN. 04:34 HAVE YOU EVER FELT DIRTY AND LONG TO BE CLEAN? 04:39 WELL, NAAMAN WAS INSULTED. 04:42 FIRST OF ALL, HE'S INSULTED THAT HE'S GOTTA LISTEN TO THE MESSAGE 04:44 OF HIS LITTLE SLAVE GIRL, THEN HE'S TURNED AWAY 04:46 BY THE KING OF ISRAEL. 04:47 THEN HE COMES TO SEE ELISHA THE PROPHET, AND HE'S USED TO 04:49 DEALING IN PALACES WITH DIGNITARIES AND HE DOESN'T EVEN 04:52 HONOR HIM WITH A PERSONAL VISIT. 04:54 HE SENDS OUT HIS SERVANT. 04:56 THEN HE SAYS, "GO WASH." 04:57 NOW WHAT'S IMPLIED WHEN SOMEONE SAYS, "GO WASH"? 04:59 YOU'RE DIRTY. 05:00 THE JORDAN RIVER WAS NOT THAT CLEAN. 05:03 IT WAS SORT OF A BROWNISH GREEN COLOR, AND WHEN YOU'RE TOLD TO 05:07 WASH SEVEN TIMES, WHAT'S IMPLIED THERE? 05:11 WHEN YOU'RE TOLD TO WASH SEVEN TIMES IN A DIRTY RIVER, 05:13 WHAT'S IMPLIED? 05:15 THAT WAS MORE THAN HE COULD STAND AND HE SPUN HIS CHARIOT 05:17 AROUND IN A RAGE AND HE STORMED OFF AND HE, SHOUTIN' AT THE TOP 05:21 OF HIS LUNGS, "CAN'T I GO BACK TO DAMASCUS AND WASH IN 05:24 THE RIVERS OF ABANA AND PHARPAR? 05:25 AREN'T THEY MUCH CLEANER THAN ALL THE WATERS OF ISRAEL?" 05:28 AND HE WAS RIGHT, THE RIVERS IN DAMASCUS WERE CLEANER THAN THE 05:31 JORDAN, BUT GOD SAID THE JORDAN. 05:34 DOES GOD MEAN WHAT HE SAYS? 05:36 GOD IS SPECIFIC, BUT GOD IS MERCIFUL AND ON HIS WAY BACK TO 05:40 DAMASCUS, HE HAD TO GO BY THE JORDAN RIVER. 05:43 YOU CAN BE LOST IF YOU WANT TO, BUT GOD IS GONNA MAKE IT 05:46 DIFFICULT FOR YOU. 05:48 IF YOU WANT TO BE LOST, YOU'VE GOT THAT FREEDOM BUT YOU'RE 05:51 GONNA HAVE TO MARCH OVER THE BROKEN BODY OF JESUS 05:53 ON YOUR WAY TO DESTRUCTION. 05:55 HE AND THE CROSS STAND IN YOUR WAY AS AN OBSTACLE. 05:59 AND WHEN HE CAME TO THE JORDAN RIVER AS HE WAS GOING BY, 06:01 HIS SERVANTS CAME TO HIM. 06:03 THEY SAID, YOU SEE THEY DREW NEAR. 06:05 HE HAD LEPROSY. 06:06 THEY HAD TO KEEP A DISTANCE AND NOW THEY'RE TAKING RISK AND THEY 06:08 DRAW NEAR. 06:08 AND THEY SAY, "MASTER, IF HE HAD TOLD YOU TO GO FIGHT A BATTLE 06:12 OR CLIMB A MOUNTAIN OR DO SOME GREAT DEED, 06:14 YOU WOULD HAVE DONE IT." 06:15 HE SAYS, "WASH AND BE CLEAN. 06:16 YOU'RE RIGHT HERE. 06:17 WHAT HAVE YOU GOT TO LOSE?" 06:19 FIRST HE GETS A MESSAGE FROM LITTLE GIRL, THEN FROM THE 06:23 SERVANT OF ELISHA, NOW FROM HIS OWN SERVANTS. 06:26 YOU KNOW SOMETIMES IT'S NOT ANY ONE MESSAGE THAT REACHES US, BUT 06:29 A SERIES OF THINGS THAT HAPPEN OVER THE COURSE OF OUR LIFE. 06:33 NAAMAN THOUGHT THAT HIS PROBLEM WAS LEPROSY, HIS PROBLEM WAS 06:37 PRIDE. 06:38 GOOD MAN, BUT HE WAS A PROUD MAN AND HE HAD TO GET ALL THESE 06:41 MESSAGES FROM THESE HUMBLE SOURCES AND NOW HE HAD TO GET 06:44 OFF HIS HIGH HORSE, TAKE OFF HIS GLITTERING ARMOR THERE 06:48 WITH EVERYBODY WATCHING. 06:50 SORT OF HUMILIATING TO SEE ALL YOUR LEPROSY. 06:53 WALK DOWN IN THE MUDDY WATERS OF THE JORDAN BRUSHING ASIDE 06:56 THE SCUM ON THE SURFACE. 06:58 AND HE DIPS HIMSELF DOWN ONCE AND HE COMES UP, HE'S STILL GOT 07:01 HIS SPOTS, STILL HAS HIS LEPROSY. 07:03 TWICE. 07:04 HE SAYS, "WHAT'S THE USE? 07:05 I'M NOT GONNA BE ANY CLEANER THE THIRD TIME THAN I WAS THE SECOND 07:08 OR THE FOURTH. 07:09 WHY NOT GET OUT? 07:10 IT'S NOT WORKING." 07:11 WHAT DID GOT SAY, HOW MANY TIMES? 07:14 WHEN GOD SAYS SOMETHING, DOES HE MEAN IT? 07:17 WHEN GOD SAID TO JOSHUA, "MARCH AROUND THE CITY SEVEN TIMES 07:20 AND YOU'LL GET THE VICTORY, THE WALLS WILL FALL AND 07:22 YOU'LL BE BLESSED." 07:23 IT DID NOT HAPPEN AFTER SIX TIMES. 07:26 THEY MARCHED AROUND ON THE SEVENTH DAY, SEVEN TIMES. 07:28 THEY BLEW THE TRUMPET AND THEN GOD WORKED HIS POWER. 07:31 WHEN GOD SAYS THAT HE'S BLESSED THE SEVENTH DAY, HE MEANS 07:34 THE SEVENTH DAY. 07:35 GOD IS SPECIFIC AND A LOT OF PEOPLE MISS THE POWER AND 07:39 BLESSING THAT GOD HAS FOR THEM 'CAUSE THEY THINK IT DOESN'T 07:41 MATTER. 07:42 THEY WANT TO DO IT THEIR WAY, BUT NAAMAN, PROBABLY READY TO 07:45 QUIT. 07:46 AND HIS SERVANT SAID, "LOOK, YOU'VE GONE THIS FAR, JUST DO IT 07:48 SEVEN TIMES" AND HE COMPLIED. 07:51 HE THOUGHT "WHAT HAVE I GOT TO LOSE? 07:53 I'M GONNA GO HOME AND DIE." 07:54 AND HE DIPPED DOWN AGAIN, THREE TIMES, FOUR TIMES, FIVE TIMES, 07:58 SIX TIMES, SEVEN TIMES AND HE CAME UP THE SEVENTH TIME, 08:01 THE SPOTS WERE GONE. 08:02 HE MUST HAVE BEEN FELT SOMETHING. 08:04 MUST HAVE FELT HIS FLESH POPPING BACK INTO POSITION AND FINGERS 08:08 POPPING AND TOES POPPING BACK WHERE THEY BELONG. 08:10 I DON'T KNOW, BUT HE MUST HAVE FELT SOMETHING AND HE WAS HAPPY. 08:14 THE BIBLE SAYS THAT HIS FLESH WAS RESTORED LIKE THE FLESH OF 08:17 A LITTLE CHILD. 08:18 THAT ALWAYS CRACKS ME UP. 08:19 YOU PICTURE THIS BRAVE, FEARLESS GENERAL WITH BABY SKIN. 08:24 SOLDIERS SAID, "BOY, YOU'RE HEALED, CAN I TOUCH?" 08:28 YOU KNOW AND THAT'S WHAT A CHRISTIAN IS. 08:30 A CHRISTIAN IS A SOLDIER WHO IS A CHILD OF GOD, EXCEPT YOU 08:34 BECOME CONVERTED AND BECOME LIKE LITTLE CHILDREN, YOU CANNOT 08:38 ENTER THE KINGDOM OF GOD. 08:39 WELL, THIS IS THE STORY OF HOW TO BE HEALED FROM THE LEPROSY OF 08:42 SIN IN THE JORDAN RIVER. 08:44 AND THE JORDAN IN THE BIBLE IS A SYMBOL OF DEATH, 08:47 BURIAL AND RESURRECTION. 08:48 CHILDREN OF ISRAEL HAD TO CROSS THE JORDAN TO GET INTO THE 08:51 PROMISED LAND, AND THE JORDAN IS A SYMBOL OF BAPTISM. 08:54 LET'S GO NOW TO QUESTION NUMBER ONE, "WHAT GLORIOUS BIBLE 08:57 CEREMONY SYMBOLIZES A WASHING AWAY FROM THE LEPROSY OF SIN?" 09:03 ACTS 22:16, IT SAYS, "ARISE AND BE BAPTIZED, AND WASH AWAY 09:09 THY SINS, CALLING ON THE NAME OF THE LORD." 09:13 YOU NOW NOTICE IT SAYS THAT BAPTISM IS CONNECTED WITH 09:17 WASHING AWAY SIN. 09:18 DOES THE WATER WASH AWAY SIN? 09:21 CAN H20 WASH AWAY OUR SINS? 09:24 WHAT CAN WASH AWAY MY SINS? 09:26 NOTHING BUT THE BLOOD OF JESUS. 09:28 BUT YOUR FAITH IN CHRIST IS SHOWN THROUGH YOUR ACTING OUT 09:34 BAPTISM, JUST LIKE YOU ARE SAVED BY VIRTUE OF YOUR FAITH 09:37 IN CHRIST'S SACRIFICE. 09:39 MAYBE YOU DID NOT SEE IT, BUT YOU ARE SAVED BY FAITH IN THAT 09:41 AND WHEN YOU FOLLOW CHRIST IN BAPTISM, YOU DO EXPERIENCE 09:44 A CLEANSING THAT YOU WILL FEEL BY FAITH. 09:48 "WHAT DOES THE WORD 'BAPTIZE' MEAN?" 09:50 COLOSSIANS 2:12 IT SAYS, "BURIED WITH HIM IN BAPTISM, WHEREIN 09:57 ALSO YOU ARE RISEN WITH HIM THROUGH THE FAITH OF THE 09:59 OPERATION OF GOD, WHO HAS RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD." 10:02 TO UNDERSTAND SOMETHING ABOUT THE BIBLICAL METHOD OF BAPTISM, 10:05 ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS LOOK AT THE WORD. 10:08 THE WORD "BAPTIZO" IS THE WORD THAT'S OFTEN USED. 10:11 IT MEANS TO DIP, IMMERSE, TO PLUNGE UNDER WATER. 10:15 IT MEANS TO COMPLETELY SUBMERGE. 10:18 IT'S A WORD THAT'S FOUND IN ANCIENT GREEK TEXTS WHEN THEY 10:22 WOULD DYE CLOTH. 10:24 THEY WOULD BAPTIZO, THE CLOTH. 10:26 THEY WOULD IMMERSE IT, PLUNGE IT UNDER AND THAT'S WHAT THE WORD 10:30 MEANS. 10:31 "JESUS IS OUR EXAMPLE. 10:32 HOW WAS HE BAPTIZED?" 10:34 NOW WE WANT TO FOLLOW CHRIST'S EXAMPLE, AM I RIGHT? 10:37 MARK 1:9-10, THE BIBLE SAYS, "JESUS CAME AND WAS BAPTIZED, 10:43 IN THE JORDAN, OF JOHN IN THE JORDAN. 10:46 AND STRAIGHTWAY COMING UP OUT OF THE WATER, HE SAW THE HEAVENS 10:52 OPENED." 10:53 THE BIBLE TELLS US CHRIST CAME UP OUT OF THE WATER. 10:56 NOW WHY WAS JESUS BAPTIZED? 10:58 TO WASH AWAY HIS SIN? 11:00 THERE ARE THREE PRINCIPLE REASONS THAT CHRIST WAS 11:03 BAPTIZED. 11:04 NUMBER ONE, THE BIBLE SAYS HE'S GIVEN US AN EXAMPLE THAT WE 11:08 SHOULD WALK AS HE WALKED, SO HE WAS BAPTIZED AS AN EXAMPLE 11:12 FOR US TO FOLLOW. 11:13 THE SECOND REASON CHRIST WAS BAPTIZED IS SO THAT WE MIGHT 11:16 EXPECT WHAT HE EXPERIENCED. 11:19 CHRIST, WHEN HE WAS BAPTIZED, BEGAN A LIFE OF MINISTRY. 11:22 WHEN A PERSON MARRIES CHRIST THROUGH BAPTISM, THEY THEN TOO 11:25 BECOME A SERVANT OF THE LORD AND BEGIN WORKING FOR THE LORD. 11:28 FURTHERMORE, THEY HEAR GOOD SAY, "YOU ARE MY SON." 11:31 THEY'RE ADOPTED INTO THE FAMILY. 11:32 GOD SAID TO JESUS, "I'M WELL PLEASED WITH YOU." 11:35 HE BECOMES WELL PLEASED WITH US. 11:36 THE SPIRIT CAME. 11:38 GOD GIVES YOU THE SPIRIT BECAUSE YOU CANNOT LIVE THE CHRISTIAN 11:40 LIFE WITHOUT THE CHRISTIAN SPIRIT. 11:42 SO WE ARE TOLD TO EXPECT WHAT CHRIST EXPERIENCED. 11:45 SECOND REASON--THIRD REASON NOW THIS MAY BE NEW FOR SOME OF YOU, 11:49 CHRIST WAS BAPTIZED ALSO IN BEHALF OF THOSE WHO CANNOT BE. 11:55 NOW WHAT ABOUT THE THIEF ON THE CROSS? 11:58 JESUS SAID, "VERILY I SAY TO YOU TODAY, YOU'LL BE WITH ME 12:00 IN PARADISE." 12:01 WE LEARNED ABOUT THAT. 12:02 HE'S NOT THERE YET, BUT HE'S GONNA BE IN PARADISE. 12:06 WAS HE BAPTIZED? 12:08 WE HAVE NO EVIDENCE THAT HE WAS. 12:09 DOES THAT MEAN HE COULDN'T BE SAVED? 12:11 BIBLE TELLS US BAPTISM'S VERY IMPORTANT. 12:13 WE GET CREDIT FOR CHRIST'S PERFECT LIFE BY FAITH. 12:19 HE WILL GIVE CREDIT TO THOSE WHO CANNOT BE BAPTIZED BY FAITH 12:23 FOR HIS BAPTISM. 12:24 HE WASN'T BAPTIZED FOR HIS SINS, WAS HE? 12:27 SO WE CAN CLAIM BY FAITH HIS BAPTISM IF WE CANNOT BE 12:30 BAPTIZED. 12:31 NOW THERE'S MORE I WANT YOU TO NOTICE ABOUT BAPTISM. 12:33 THE BIBLE TELLS US, I'VE GOT SOME ADDITIONAL SCRIPTURES. 12:36 "NOW JOHN, THE BAPTIST, WAS ALSO BAPTIZING IN AENON NEAR SALIM, 12:41 BECAUSE THERE WAS MUCH WATER THERE. 12:44 AND CAME THERE AND THEY WERE BAPTIZED." 12:46 THE BIBLE SAYS HE NEEDED MUCH WATER. 12:48 YOU KNOW IN THE SUMMER TIME, THE JORDAN RIVER IS SOMETIMES 12:51 A SERIES OF STAGNATING POOLS. 12:53 YOU GOTTA FIND A PLACE WHERE THE WATER'S DEEP ENOUGH. 12:55 IF SPRINKLING AND POURING AND THESE OTHER METHODS ARE THE 12:58 BIBLICAL TECHNIQUE OF BAPTISM, JOHN DID NOT NEED A RIVER, 13:02 HE COULD HAVE USED A CANTEEN IN THE DESERT, RIGHT? 13:05 HE COULD HAVE USED A SPRING OR A WELL UP IN JERUSALEM. 13:07 HE NEEDED A LARGE BODY OF WATER 'CAUSE PEOPLE WERE BURIED. 13:10 THEY WERE IMMERSED. 13:12 "WHAT OTHER BIBLE TRUTHS ARE SYMBOLIZED BY BAPTISM?" 13:17 ROMANS 6:4, "THEREFORE WE ARE BURIED WITH HIM BY BAPTISM INTO 13:22 DEATH: THAT LIKE AS CHRIST WAS RAISED UP FROM THE DEAD BY 13:28 THE GLORY OF THE FATHER, EVEN SO WE SHOULD WALK IN A NEWNESS 13:31 OF LIFE." 13:32 BAPTISM IS A SYMBOL OF BURIAL AND RESURRECTION, AND YOU LOSE 13:37 THESE SYMBOLS WHEN YOU GET AWAY FROM THE BIBLICAL METHOD OF 13:40 BAPTISM. 13:41 YOU CAN ALSO READ HERE IN ROMANS 6:5, 13:45 "FOR IF WE HAVE BEEN UNITED TOGETHER IN THE LIKENESS OF HIS 13:48 DEATH, CERTAINLY WE ALSO SHALL BE IN THE LIKENESS OF HIS 13:52 RESURRECTION." 13:53 BAPTISM IS SYMBOLIZED BY MANY THINGS. 13:56 IT REPRESENTS A NEW BIRTH. 13:57 YOU KNOW WHEN A BABY IS IN THE MOTHER, IT'S PROTECTED BY 14:01 AN ENVELOPE OF WATER AND WHEN THE WATER BREAKS AND THE BABY 14:04 EMERGES, IT TAKES A BREATH. 14:06 IT SYMBOLIZES THAT A NEW STAGE OF LIFE HAS BEGUN AND YOU ARE 14:10 A BABY CHRISTIAN AFTER BAPTISM. 14:13 AND THE BIBLE TELLS US THAT WE GROW IN THE LORD AND THAT JESUS 14:17 NURTURES US AND THAT WE'RE TO DESIRE THE SINCERE MILK OF 14:20 THE WORD AFTER BAPTISM. 14:22 AND SO ALL OF THESE ANALOGIES ARE THERE. 14:24 THE BIBLE TELLS US THAT BAPTISM IS A SYMBOL OF WASHING, 14:28 CLEANSING. 14:29 SO ALL OF THESE THINGS ARE LOST. 14:31 "HOW IMPORTANT IS BAPTISM?" 14:33 WHAT DOES JESUS SAY? 14:34 MARK 16:16, YOU CAN REMEMBER THAT VERSE. 14:37 "HE THAT BELIEVETH AND IS BAPTIZED SHALL BE SAVED; 14:42 BUT HE THAT BELIEVETH NOT SHALL BE DAMMED," OR LOST. 14:44 JOHN 3:5 JESUS SAID, "EXCEPT A MAN BE BORN OF THE WATER AND 14:49 THE SPIRIT, HE CANNOT ENTER THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN." 14:53 UNLESS YOU'RE BORN OF THE WATER, BAPTISM AND BORN OF THE SPIRIT, 14:56 THE HOLY GHOST, YOU CANNOT ENTER THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. 14:59 YOU REALIZE GOD'S GONNA SOMEDAY MAKE A NEW EARTH, BUT THIS WORLD 15:02 WAS BAPTIZED IN WATER BACK IN THE DAYS OF NOAH. 15:05 PETER TELLS US IN 2 PETER 3 WHEN JESUS COMES BACK AGAIN, WORLD'S 15:10 GONNA BE BAPTIZED IN THE FIRE AND THEN HE'S GONNA MAKE A NEW 15:13 HEAVEN AND A NEW EARTH, RIGHT? 15:14 WE ALL MUST BE BAPTIZED IN WATER AND FIRE, THE SPIRIT. 15:18 THAT'S WHAT THAT MEANS, THE PILLAR OF FIRE AND WE ALSO 15:20 BECOME NEW CREATURES SO BAPTISM IS VERY, VERY IMPORTANT. 15:26 "WHAT COMMAND DID JESUS GIVE HIS PEOPLE JUST BEFORE HE ASCENDED 15:29 TO HEAVEN?" 15:31 MATTHEW 28:19 HE SAID, "GO YE THEREFORE, AND TEACH ALL 15:36 NATIONS, BAPTIZING THEM IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, AND THE SON, 15:41 AND THE HOLY GHOST." 15:42 YOU KNOW THE LAST THING THAT JESUS SAID BEFORE HE ASCENDED TO 15:45 HEAVEN SHOULD BE THE FIRST PRIORITY OF THE CHURCH. 15:49 PEOPLE SAY, "OH, BAPTISM, THAT'S A TRIVIAL DOCTRINE." 15:53 IT WAS IMPORTANT ENOUGH FOR IT TO BE THE PARTING WORDS OF 15:56 CHRIST AS HE ASCENDED UP INTO GLORY. 15:58 HE SAID, "GO YE THEREFORE, TEACH AND BAPTIZE." 16:01 IN OTHER WORDS, ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO COMMIT THEIR LIVES TO ME THAT 16:04 I MIGHT FILL THEM WITH THE SPIRIT. 16:06 THEY MIGHT SERVE ME. 16:07 CHRIST BEGAN SERVING THE FATHER AT HIS BAPTISM. 16:10 HIS MINISTRY BEGAN AT HIS BAPTISM. 16:12 BAPTISM MARKS THE STARTING POINT. 16:14 IT MEANS YOU'RE SURRENDERING YOURSELF TO THE LORD AND 16:16 ALLOWING HIM TO FILL YOU WITH HIS SPIRIT. 16:19 IT'S A VERY, VERY IMPORTANT THING THAT IS OFTEN 16:21 MISUNDERSTOOD, AND MY HEART YEARNS OVER PEOPLE. 16:25 A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN BAPTIZED AND THEY WERE NOT 16:27 TAUGHT FIRST. 16:30 UM...THEY JUST LIKE... 16:31 THEY WERE CATTLE BEING BRANDED, AND THEY WEREN'T 16:34 SURE WHAT IT MEANT AND THEY WERE ROBBED, I THINK, OF THE BLESSING 16:38 THAT THEY WERE TO RECEIVE BY FAITH 'CAUSE JESUS SAID, 16:40 "GO YE THEREFORE, TEACH FIRST THEN BAPTIZE." 16:45 YOU NEED TO BE TAUGHT THE BASICS. 16:47 "WHAT BIBLICAL QUALIFICATIONS MUST PRECEDE BAPTISM?" 16:52 I'M GONNA GO QUICKLY THROUGH THE THINGS A PERSON NEEDS TO KNOW. 16:55 FIRST OF ALL, ANSWER A, THEY MUST UNDERSTAND THE TEACHINGS OF 16:59 JESUS. 17:00 THEY NEED TO BE TAUGHT AND THEY NEED TO UNDERSTAND WHAT IS 17:03 THE COMMITMENT. 17:04 ANSWER B, IT'S ONE THING TO UNDERSTAND, 17:06 THE DEVIL UNDERSTANDS, BUT HE DOESN'T BELIEVE. 17:08 HE'S NOT GONNA FOLLOW. 17:09 NEED TO BE WILLING TO BELIEVE THE TEACHINGS OF JESUS. 17:12 AMEN? 17:13 ANSWER C, AND YOU'VE GOT THE CORRESPONDING SCRIPTURES THERE. 17:17 NEED TO BE WILLING TO REPENT OF YOUR PAST SINS, THAT MEANS 17:21 A SORROW FOR AND A TURNING AWAY FROM. 17:24 THE BIBLE SAYS WHOEVER REPENTS AND FORSAKES HIS SIN WILL HAVE 17:29 MERCY. 17:30 SO LIKE I SAID, YOU GOTTA STOP DATING THE DEVIL BEFORE YOU 17:32 MARRY JESUS. 17:34 THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOU'LL NEVER BE TEMPTED. 17:37 JESUS WAS TEMPTED. 17:37 I'M TEMPTED EVERY SINGLE DAY, BUT THE SINS THAT ARE 17:40 ADDICTIONS, THE PATTERNS OF SIN MUST BE LEFT BEHIND. 17:44 SIN SHOULD NOT HAVE DOMINION OVER YOU WHEN YOU MAKE 17:48 A COMMITMENT OF BAPTISM, OKAY? 17:50 ANSWER E--SORRY, ANSWER D, YOU NEED TO BELIEVE WITH, HOW MUCH? 17:55 ALL OF YOUR HEART. 17:56 THAT'S WHAT PHILIP SAID TO THE ETHIOPIAN EUNUCH. 17:59 ANSWER F. 18:00 ANSWER E IS WHAT I MEANT TO SAY. 18:03 "AGREE TO TURN FROM THE LIFE OF SIN." 18:07 ONE THING TO UNDERSTAND BUT A WILLINGNESS TO REPENT. 18:10 THAT'S WHAT TURN MEANS. 18:11 AND ANSWER F, "ACCEPT CHRIST AS YOUR PERSONAL SAVIOR AND 18:16 EXPERIENCE THE NEW BIRTH." 18:18 NOW IN LIGHT OF THE CRITERIA THAT MUST PROCEED BAPTISM, 18:22 SHOULD BABIES BE BAPTIZED? 18:26 CAN YOU SHOW ME AN EXAMPLE IN THE BIBLE WHERE A BABY WAS 18:28 BAPTIZED? 18:30 NO. 18:30 IS THERE AN EXAMPLE IN THE BIBLE WHERE A BABY WAS DEDICATED TO 18:33 THE LORD? 18:34 YES. 18:35 IT IS APPROPRIATE TO DEDICATE BABIES TO THE LORD, AND I KNOW 18:38 A LOT OF YOU WHO ARE WATCHING, AND MAYBE MANY HERE, 18:40 WERE BAPTIZED AS BABIES. 18:42 YOUR PARENTS MAY HAVE MEANT WELL TO DEDICATE YOU TO THE LORD, BUT 18:46 YOU MUST CHOOSE TO BE BAPTIZED. 18:49 YOU KNOW IN SOME COUNTRIES, THE PARENTS ARRANGE THE WEDDINGS. 18:52 GOD HAS NO PREARRANGED WEDDINGS WHEN IT COMES TO BAPTISM. 18:56 IT'S A DECISION YOU MUST MAKE. 18:57 WE ALL HAVE A FREE WILL AND IT'S YOU MUST REPENT. 19:02 YOU MUST BELIEVE. 19:03 YOU MUST BE TAUGHT. 19:03 A BABY CANNOT DO THESE THINGS. 19:05 A BABY HAS NO SINS TO REPENT OF, RIGHT? 19:07 SO YOU CAN DEDICATE YOUR CHILDREN. 19:09 JESUS WAS DEDICATED AS A BABY, BUT HOW OLD WAS HE WHEN HE WAS 19:12 BAPTIZED? 19:13 THIRTY YEARS OF AGE, AS A AN EXAMPLE FOR 19:15 YOU AND ME, THAT WE SHOULD BE ADULTS OLD ENOUGH 19:18 TO UNDERSTAND THE CRITERIA. 19:20 "IS REBAPTISM EVER PROPER OR APPROPRIATE?" 19:24 THE ANSWER IS YES. 19:26 NOW LET ME GIVE YOU THE SCRIPTURE. 19:28 IT'S A LONG ONE. 19:29 ACTS 19:2-5 AND IT SAYS THAT PAUL, WHEN HE WAS TRAVELING 19:34 THROUGH THESE ASIAN REGIONS, HE MET SOME 12 EPHESIANS BELIEVERS 19:40 AND HE ASKED THEM IF THEY HAD BELIEVED AND WERE BAPTIZED. 19:44 AND THEY SAID, "WE HAVE NOT HEARD WHETHER THERE BE ANY 19:47 HOLY GHOST." 19:48 THEY'D NOT HEARD ABOUT THE OUTPOURING OF THE SPIRIT. 19:50 THEY HAD MISSED MUCH ABOUT THE TEACHINGS OF CHRIST. 19:52 THEY WERE BAPTIZED BY JOHN THE BAPTIST. 19:54 THEY DID NOT HAVE INTERNET BACK THEN AND CNN NEWS. 19:57 THEY WENT UP MILES AWAY. 19:59 THEY HAD NOT HEARD ALL THESE THINGS THAT HAD HAPPENED. 20:02 AND HE SAID, "UNTO WHAT THEN WERE YOU BAPTIZED?" 20:05 AND THEY SAID UNTO HIM, "UNTO JOHN'S BAPTISM." 20:08 NOW DID JOHN BAPTIZE BY IMMERSION? 20:11 NOTHING WRONG WITH THE METHOD OF BAPTISM THERE. 20:13 THEY SAID, "THEN SAID PAUL, JOHN VERILY BAPTIZED WITH THE BAPTISM 20:17 OF REPENTANCE, SAYING UNTO THE PEOPLE, THAT THEY SHOULD BELIEVE 20:21 ON HIM WHICH SHOULD COME AFTER HIM, THAT IS, ON CHRIST JESUS." 20:25 THEN IT SAYS, "WHEN THEY HEARD THIS, THEY WERE BAPTIZED IN 20:31 THE NAME OF THE LORD JESUS." 20:33 YOU MIGHT SAY THEY WERE REBAPTIZED. 20:35 NOW THERE ARE THREE REASONS A PERSON MIGHT BE REBAPTIZED. 20:41 FIRST OF ALL, IF YOU WERE BAPTIZED AS A BABY OR SOME 20:44 UNBIBLICAL METHOD, EITHER ONE OF THOSE, YOU SHOULD BE BAPTIZED 20:47 BIBLICALLY AS AN ADULT UNDERSTANDING THE CRITERIA, 20:51 ISN'T THAT RIGHT? 20:52 SECONDLY, IF YOU WERE BAPTIZED AND YOU'VE DIVORCED YOURSELF 20:58 FROM THE LORD, BAPTISM IS A SYMBOL OF MARRIAGE. 21:01 NOW THIS IS SOMETHING I LIKE TO MAKE CLEAR. 21:03 NOW SOME PEOPLE THINK YOU GET BAPTIZED AND A WEEK LATER YOU 21:05 SIN OR YOU LOSE YOUR TEMPER OR YOU DO SOMETHING, YOU GOTTA 21:08 RUN AND GET BAPTIZED AGAIN. 21:09 THAT TRIVIALIZES THE IMPORTANCE OF YOUR BAPTISM. 21:11 I DON'T BELIEVE IN PEOPLE GETTING BAPTIZED MULTIPLE TIMES, 21:14 EVERY TIME THEY GET DISCOURAGED. 21:16 WE ALL GET DISCOURAGED. 21:18 I DO. 21:19 GOD'S DESIGNED SOMETHING ELSE FOR REPETITIVE CLEANSING. 21:24 YOU KNOW, JESUS' BLOOD IS AVAILABLE. 21:25 IF WE SIN, WE CONFESS. 21:27 DON'T NEED TO REMARRY. 21:29 BUT IF YOU'VE DIVORCED YOURSELF FROM THE LORD, YOU STOP GOING TO 21:32 CHURCH AND YOU WONDER OFF LIKE THE PRODIGAL SON. 21:34 IF YOU'RE GOING TO RETURN, JUST LIKE ANY COUNTRY, 21:37 YOU SHOULD REMARRY THE LORD. 21:40 YOU MAY PRAY ABOUT IT, TALK TO THE PASTOR. 21:43 IT MAY BE APPROPRIATE FOR YOU TO BE REBAPTIZED. 21:45 THE THIRD REASON, LIKE THESE EPHESIANS BELIEVERS, IF YOU'VE 21:49 MISSED OUT ON MAJOR PORTIONS OF THE GOSPEL AND YOU'VE COME INTO 21:53 A WHOLE NEW UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT THE TRUTH IS ALL ABOUT. 21:56 THEY HAD NOT HEARD ABOUT JESUS AND THE OUTPOURING OF 21:57 THE SPIRIT. 21:58 THEY SAID, "WE WANT A NEW BEGINNING. 21:59 WE WANT TO RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT." 22:01 AND THEY WERE REBAPTIZED. 22:03 I HEARD ABOUT A BAPTIST PASTOR, GOOD CHRISTIAN MAN. 22:06 HE HEARD THESE MESSAGES, SAID, "YOU KNOW, I'VE LEARNED SO MUCH. 22:09 I WAS BAPTIZED INTO NINE COMMANDMENTS, 22:11 NOW I KNOW THE SABBATH TRUTH. 22:12 I WANT TO GET BAPTIZED INTO ALL TEN," AND HE WAS REBAPTIZED. 22:16 AND SO AND HE GOT A SPECIAL BLESSING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT 22:18 WHEN HE DID THAT. 22:19 AND SO YOU'LL NEED TO PRAY ABOUT THAT AND WE'LL TALK MORE ABOUT 22:22 THAT IN YOUR QUESTIONS IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ON THAT ISSUE. 22:26 NOW I WANT TO READ SOMETHING TO YOU REAL QUICK. 22:28 WHAT CAN WE EXPECT AT BAPTISM? 22:31 WHAT HAPPENED TO JESUS IS WHAT WE SHOULD EXPECT. 22:33 NOTICE WHAT IT SAYS HERE. 22:34 TURN IN YOUR BIBLES TO MATTHEW 3:16-17. 22:41 IT TELLS US THE HEAVENS WERE OPENED. 22:44 WHEN YOU'RE BAPTIZED, THE HEAVENS ARE OPENED. 22:46 WE ARE DENIED ACCESS EXCEPT THROUGH CHRIST WHEN WE COMMIT 22:49 OUR LIVES TO HIM. 22:51 THEN IT SAYS HE SAW. 22:53 YOUR VISION IS ENHANCED, OTHERWISE IT'S THE BLIND LEADING 22:56 THE BLIND. 22:57 THE SPIRIT OF GOD COMES INTO YOUR LIFE. 23:01 YOU CAN'T LIVE THE CHRISTIAN LIFE WITHOUT THE CHRISTIAN 23:03 SPIRIT. 23:03 YOU CAN'T FIGHT THE DEVIL IN THE WILDERNESS WITHOUT 23:05 THE SPIRIT OF GOD. 23:07 IT CAME LIKE A DOVE. 23:08 GOD WILL GIVE YOU PEACE. 23:10 SO MANY PEOPLE ARE LIVING IN FEAR. 23:12 WOULD YOU LIKE THAT PEACE THAT PASSES UNDERSTANDING? 23:15 THEN YOU HEAR A VOICE. 23:17 YOU WILL HEAR GOD SPEAKING TO YOU, A STILL, SMALL VOICE 23:20 GUIDING YOU, AMEN, SAYING, "THIS IS MY BELOVED SON." 23:24 YOU ARE ADOPTED INTO THE FAMILY. 23:26 YOU BECOME A CHILD OF GOD. 23:27 AND THEN HE SAYS, "IN WHOM I AM WELL PLEASED." 23:30 NO MATTER HOW BAD YOUR SINS HAVE BEEN, NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU'VE 23:34 DISAPPOINTED THE LORD, NO MATTER HOW FILTHY YOU'VE BEEN, 23:36 NO MATTER HOW DEEP YOUR LEPROSY, YOU CAN BE CLEAN IN THE BLOOD 23:41 OF THE LAMB. 23:42 DO YOU BELIEVE THAT, FRIENDS?
