"What must I do to be saved?" (Continued)
Now that we have studied and found what we have to believe, How do we Baptize?
For the Bible says there is one Lord, one Faith, and one Baptism. He said, he that believeth and is Baptized shall be saved.
22. Jesus said: Matthew 28: 19-20
(19) Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: (20) Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world.

Then Peter said unto them, 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.

Jesus said unto Peter, I will give you the keys of the kingdom, and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven and what so ever thou shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

In I Cor. 1:10-15, the Apostle Paul asked a question.
Why are there divisions among you? Some say I am of Paul, and I am of Apollos, and I am of Cephas and I am of Christ. Is Christ divided?
Let me put it this way. We say "I am Pentecostal, I am Baptist, I am Church of Christ, I am Church of God etc..."
Is Christ Divided?
Was Paul crucified for you? Were you baptized in the name of Paul?

Why? you ask. Because:
