Baptism

“A Guide for Religious Workers and Bible Teachers” from The John A Hertel Co. 1969-1970 Disclaimer: This is but a section of the Holy Bible published by Mr. Hertel. The information is unique to his version of family Bible and extremely instructive. It has been converted to modern English Standard Version (ESV) and, in some sections, reformatted. The writings will be in italics. I have updated spelling according to current conventions and put those words in brackets once only. Any mistakes made are solely mine. The "A Guide for Religious Workers and Bible Teachers" is rather long so I will bring it to you in sections. The next section is on "Business-I will be hindered in making money." I think it is essential and very informational on every subject pertaining to being, staying and teaching as a Christian. The work will be in Italics. I have many blogs that address the fact that God chooses you as you are and will restore you if you let Him, but first, you must believe and surrender. This may mean falling a hundred times but only because we still cling to our unbelief based on our own worth. But He says, none are worthy, no matter what they look like or how they act. But you, if you hear Him calling you, can be saved. This section is just scriptures on why one should be baptized. I will list the scriptures, not the words as there are many and it is good for you to open your bible to seek the Truth. :-) Section contents: Part 3: Baptism-A Divine Command. “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.” Mat 28:19 “Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.” Mark 16:16 “And all the country of Judea and all Jerusalem were going out to him and were being baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.” Mark 1:5 Jesus was baptized. 13: “Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be baptized by him. 16: “And when Jesus was baptized, immediately he went up from the water, and behold, the heavens were opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming to rest on him;” Matt 3:13, 16 “In those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan.” Mark 1:9 The Eunuch was baptized. The eunuch said:, “And as they were going along the road they came to some water, and the eunuch said, “See, here is water!
