Baptism in the Preacing of the Apostles By Michael Reed (Matthew 28:18-20) February 5, 2012 a.m. (Click to Listen)

Shortly before Jesus ascended into heaven, His gave His apostles the Great Commission, in Matthew 28:18-20; Mark 15:15-16. In both places we notice the mention of baptism. Whatever the purpose of baptism, it must be important to Jesus, for He commanded it. One might ask what is baptism? What is the purpose of Baptism? Who should be baptized? Is there ever a need to be re-baptized? These and many other questions are often asked when the subject of baptism is raised. In this lesson and the ones to follow I will seek to answer each of these question as we look into God's word.
