Great is the Baptism that lies before you: a ransom to captives; a remission of offences; a death of sin; a new-birth of the soul; a garment of light; a holy indissoluble seal; a chariot to heaven; the delight of Paradise; a welcome into the kingdom; the gift of adoption! But there is a serpent by the wayside watching those who pass by: beware lest he bite thee with unbelief...
there you have it, baptismal regeneration straight from somebody one hour ago you thought was a Christian!!
>> Great is the Baptism that lies before you<<
Baptism in the Holy Spirit. Water baptism is a symbol of what has already happened at the time you accepted Jesus as Lord and savior.
