What the Bible Says About Baptism (6 of 12)
Series: Foundations: What Every Christian Ought to Know

Romans 6:1-5
Over the last several weeks, we've been talking about some essentials of our Christian faith in a series called, Foundations: what every Christian ought to know. Today, I want you to find Romans 6 in your Bibles. This morning, I want to address a very important subject that many people are confused about: What the Bible Says About Baptism.
I'm sure you know, there are several different denominations that believe in Jesus and say they believe the Bible, but they disagree about baptism.

You're saying, "Hey, look! I belong to Jesus Christ."1
Today, I want to try to clear up some confusion and hopefully help you see the truth. So, where do we go when we want to get an authoritative decision on something? That's right, we go to the Word of God.
There is not just one text in the Bible to turn to that answers all of our questions about baptism. But there are many passages that you ...
