There is no such thing as "baptizing by teaching". There is no such thing as being baptized by being immersed in Christ. Your theory is not based on Scripture.
Matthew 3:11 KJV
I [
John] indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear:
he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost [the spirit of truth], and with fire :
Matthew 28:19-20 KJV
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: [20] Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
Acts 11:16 KJV
Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said,
John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost.
Romans 6:3 KJV
Know ye not, that so many of us as were
baptized [immersed] into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
Galatians 3:27 KJV
For as many of you as have been
baptized [immersed] into Christ have put on Christ.
Ephesians 5:26 KJV
That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the
washing of water by the word,
1 Peter 3:21 KJV
The like figure whereunto even
baptism doth also now save us (
not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:
Revelation 1:5 KJV
And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and
washed us from our sins in his own blood,
I would say these verses say otherwise. You may say the last two aren't speaking of teaching, but they certainly aren't talking about water.
In every instance of baptism in Scripture there was first the teaching to convince (convert) and then once they believed (were converted) they were baptized....WITH WATER! Acts 2, Acts 8, Acts 10, Acts 16, Acts 22
Ok... Let's have a look:
Acts 2:38,41 KJV
Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. [41] Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.
Two in Acts 2 an there is no mention of water.
Acts 8:12-13,16,36 KJV
But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. [13] Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done. [16] (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.) [36] And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?
Three in Acts 8; one mentions water.
Acts 10:47 KJV
Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?
One in Acts 10 which mentions water.
Let me cut to the chase... Neither Acts 19 or 22 mention water either, and you list is far shorter than every time someone was baptized. Even in that short list, you are 2 for 8!
Once again, I have no problem with water baptism. I have acknowledged it was done. I have no problem with those who are compelled to be baptized with water. I say in that case you should be.
I have a problem with the doctrine that says you must be water baptized. Are you saying if you aren't that you aren't really saved and not a Christian?
