BAPTISM FOR THE REMISSION OF SINS

Acts 2:38
"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."

Acts 22:16
"And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be BAPTIZED, and WASH AWAY thy SINS, CALLING on the NAME of the Lord."

I Corinthians 6:11
"And such was some of you, but ye are WASHED, but ye are SANCTIFIED, but ye are JUSTIFIED in the NAME of the LORD JESUS, and by the SPIRIT of our God."

Ephesians 5:26
"That he might SANCTIFY and CLEANSE it with the WASHING of WATER by the WORD."

Before God could have a holy people, He had to clean up those that SURRENDERED themselves unto him. For man was a sinner from birth. The only way for him to be CLEANSED from this SINS, was by the BLOOD OF JESUS that was SHED on Calvary. The way god has chosen to get this BLOOD APPLIED to our HEARTS is through BELIEVING, REPENTING, and BAPTISM. as it is said in Revelations 1;:
"....unto him that LOVED US, and WASHED US, from our SINS in His own BLOOD."

ICor. 13:5
"....Know ye not your own selves, how that JESUS CHRIST is IN YOU, except ye be REPROBATE?"
