When I see people baptize children especially new born babies, I never knew what it meant or how important it is but I’m happy that I was part of Brother Eli’s class today and he explained what it means to be a Christian to me.
Being a Christian means that you have been accepted by God into the house of Christ and you have been baptized.
While giving his sermons, he talked about so many Apostles and even talked more on the life of Apostle Paul. Before Apostle Paul became a Christian, he was baptized. Every great Chtistians who we know or hear of their names like Jesus Christ and the rest were all baptized.
He went as far as explaining how so many people became Christians in the olden days.
Acts 2:41 says, "So those who received his word were baptized, and there were added that day about three thousand souls
What this implies is that before they all became Christians, they heard the word of God. When they hear the words, some of them could receive the words of God and they were baptized. This are the ways in which we can become Christians.
If we want to become Christians, we have to hear yhe word of God first. After that, we will receive the word if God. I think this is where so many people fall back because not all people will receive his word but if you do, you will then get baptized. After your baptism, you have now been welcomed into the Church of God as a renowned Christian.
And how do Christians or how are we supposed to get baptized? This way!
Matthew 28:19 says, "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
Baptism is a part of Christian culture that can never be canceled.
