When should you get baptized?

[TonyChanYT]

On the day of Pentecost, after the tongues of fire happened, Peter gave a sermon to some non-believers in Acts 2:

37 Now when they heard this they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?” 38 And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. … 41So those who received his word were baptized, and there were added that day about three thousand souls.

They repented and were baptized the same day.

One day, Philip the Evangelist met an Ethiopian eunuch, Acts 8:

30 Philip ran to him and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet and asked, “Do you understand what you are reading?

The eunuch was reading Isaiah 53.

34 the eunuch said to Philip, “About whom, I ask you, does the prophet say this, about himself or about someone else?” 35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and beginning with this Scripture he told him the good news about Jesus. 36 And as they were going along the road they came to some water, and the eunuch said, “See, here is water! What prevents me from being baptized?”

Nothing.

38 And he commanded the chariot to stop, and they both went down into the water, Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him.

Philip baptized the eunuch on the day he met him.

On another day, Peter was preaching to the Cornelius' household, Acts 10:

44 While Peter was still saying these things, the Holy Spirit fell on all who heard the word. 45 And the believers from among the circumcised who had come with Peter were amazed because the gift of the Holy Spirit was poured out even on the Gentiles. 46 For they were hearing them speaking in tongues and extolling God. Then Peter declared, 47“Can anyone withhold water for baptizing these people, who have received the Holy Spirit just as we have?”

No one.

48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to remain for some days.

They were baptized the same day they heard Peter preaching.

Another case happened to John's disciples in Acts 19:

3 [Paul] said, “Into what then were you baptized?” They said, “Into John’s baptism.” 4 And Paul said, “John baptized with the baptism of repentance, telling the people to believe in the one who was to come after him, that is, Jesus.”

There were 2 conditions: repent and believe in Jesus.

5 On hearing this, they were baptized inb the name of the Lord Jesus.

When should you get baptized?

Right away after you have repented and believed in Jesus.

That would depend on why you are being baptized? What is the reason they baptized the examples given?

 

[GRACE ambassador]

That would depend on why you are being baptized?

Precious friend, what do you think is the reason?

Thanks.

 

[Godslittleservant]

Precious friend, what do you think is the reason?

Thanks.

I think the Answer is given in Acts 2:38 followed by Romans 6:3ff and Acts 19:1-5 these answers are recorded for our salvation we must believe what is recorded and respond appropriately

As soon as you can. For me, I received Christ through faith on a late Saturday night at home but was unable to get water baptized until Sunday morning. I'm coming up on 25 years! October 11th, 1998.

Absolutely agree - hear about salvation and respond appropriately, In the Correct Dispensation *:

Three Different Baptisms to prayerfully / Carefully consider:​

In God's Previous Context Of Prophecy / Covenants / Law for
( the "lost sheep" of the house of ) Israel, in Yesterday's Dispensation!:

►►► The Twelve Were Sent to { water } baptize! ◄◄◄

The Two Main (of 12 ) baptismS =

A) water, For remission of sins / induction into Israeli "priesthood!":
(Matthew_3:5-6; Mark_1:4; Luke_3:3; John_1:31; Luke 7:29-30 = Yes, For remission of sins!)
(Acts_10:37 Matthew_28:19; Mark_16:16; Acts_2:38 = Yes, For remission of sins!, 22:16;
Ezekiel_36:25; Isaiah 52:15)

+

B) With The Holy Spirit, Poured Out By CHRIST, for power, signs And wonders!
(Isaiah_44:3; Matthew_3:11; Mark_1:8, 16:17-18 = Why ignore these Scriptures?;
Luke_24:49; Acts_2:17-18, 38, 8:15-17, 11:16)

Prophecy/Covenants/Law for Israel!

Rightly Divided (2 Timothy 2:15) From “Things That Differ!" (online)

In God's Other Distinctive Context ( Today's Dispensation! ) of:

Mystery / Grace! (Romans - Philemon) =

our "apostle to the Gentiles" for The Body Of Christ, Currently!:

►►► Paul Was Not Sent to { water } baptize! Why Not?: ◄◄◄

Today, Paul's "But Now" = Salvation? "Believe On The Lord Jesus Christ!" and:

Only One Baptism = "By" The One Spirit = God's Operation ( For Forgiveness of sin! ),
Spiritually Identifying members In (The One Body Of) Christ!!
(Ephesians 4:5; Colossians_2:12; Galatians_3:27;
Romans_6:3-4; 1 Corinthians 12:13 KJB)

------------------------------------------------------

Conclusion: I believe "God's One Baptism 'By The One Holy Spirit' For The One Body of Christ,
Today, Under Grace / Mystery" Replaces Both Previous baptisms:

"water baptism And The Baptism With The Holy Spirit, which were/will be under
God's Other program of prophecy / Covenants / Law for Israel!"

Who is willing to "give an account To God," for changing His One Baptism Into two?
Or Even? [ Blaspheming The One Holy Spirit? ] by marrying It ↑ into one With water?

Amen.

Baptism is nothing more than a public profession of one's faith in Christ. It adds nothing, absolutely nothing to your salvation. The thief on the cross was not baptized.

Such a bold statement with no supporting scripture. Please show me the scripture you found that says that? There are many scriptures that you contradict with such a bold statement that can't be found in the bible.
