This article is the most comprehensive study you will find written about the command of God to be “immersed” in water compared to the false command of the catholic pope to be “Baptized” by sprinkling with water to be saved.


Jesus gives the command of God to be saved from past sins;
Mark chapter 15:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
16 He that believeth and is immersed shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

Peter the apostle of Jesus also gives the command of God Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be immersed every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ unto the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost (Acts 2:38)

Paul also an apostle wrote Romans 6:3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were immersed into Jesus Christ were immersed into his death?
Therefore we are buried with him by immersion into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
Galatians 3:27 For as many of you as have been immersed into Christ have put on Christ. (For correct translations of the above verses see Apostolic Bible or the Emphasized Bible).

Now you know the command of God is to be immersed in water to be saved. Suppose the pope of the catholic church against the command of God instead commands us to paint our toe nails with a little dirty water and tells us that is all we need to do to be saved. Do you think for one moment that God would save us? Do not be deceived take the safe course and do what Jesus command us to do be immersed in water for you sins.

Now read second kings chapter 5. Naaman was a king afflicted with leprosy; and when the little Hebrew slave-girl that waited on his wife told her of a prophet in Samaria who could cure her master, he obtained a letter from Benhadad and proceeded with it to Joram. Naaman was commanded by the prophet of God, "Elisha" to go and dip or immerse himself in the muddy river Jordan seven times and his leprosy would be healed. The king of Israel suspected the command of God to be some evil design against him, and rent his clothes. Elisha the prophet hearing of this, sent for Naaman, and the strange interview which took place is recorded in #2Kings 5:1ff. The narrative contains all that is known of the Syrian commander. Naaman did exactly as he was told and was cured of his leprosy by dipping himself seven times in the mudd water of the Jordan, according to the word of God through the prophet Elisha. Naaman's cure is mentioned by our Lord in Luke 4:27.

Suppose Naaman’s spiritual adviser was a false prophet and the false teacher would have said to Naaman, I have a new command from God, just sprinkle or pour a little water from the river Jordan on yourself and you will be cured from your leprosy. You know Naaman would not have been cured of his Leprosy. Do you think Naaman would have been wise to have stopped dipping himself in the Jordan River at the count of six? Supposed Naaman stopped dipping himself in the Jordan at the count of six times, do you think God would have healed Naaman? Naaman was wise he wanted desperately to be healed so he took the safe course and he obeyed the prophet of God and immersed himself seven times in the muddy river of Jordan and through his obedience to God he was healed of his leprosy.

Again this work is copyrighted but only so I may retain rights to give this tract to whoever wants to study the truth about the “One immersion in water.” Any part of this tract can be copied for free as long as the text is retained in it's context and there is no charge for the contents. If you read the translated words “Baptize” in your Bible, I warn you that you have a false translated Bible.

Now in the beginning of our study of the Christian immersion in water, we want first to warn you, that, in all the ancient languages of the Bible there is no Bible Greek word identified as our modern understanding of the words “Baptize,” “Baptism” or “baptizing.” The English transliterated word “baptize or baptism” that is added to the English translated Bible, is a -misnomer or a false word. The transliteration made by removing the Bible word immerse and then adding the false words “Baptized,” “baptism,” “baptizing” is perpetrated first by the ancient Catholic church. The false transliteration of the word immerse to the word baptize is the most underhanded trick by Satan and his disciple to keep certain people from learning the truth that they need to be immersed in water to be saved.

Hear me again. There is no Bible Greek word that can be identified as our modern English word “Baptism.” “The definition of our modern English word “Baptize” or “Baptism” can have many different meaning such as to sprinkle, pour, or immerse. The Bible Greek word “baptizo” has only one definition of what is being done passively to the subject, washing, sinking, overwhelming, burying, immersing in water. The false transliteration of the Greek word “baptizo” to the transliterated word “Baptize” can allow some one to think they can be saved by sprinkling or by pouring water on them. You can -not immerse, sink or wash some one in water by sprinkling or pouring a little water on them.

Notice, all Catholics living under the pope are sprinkled and there is not one under the pope that is immersed in water as is the command from God to be immersed in water to be saved. Not one Catholic living under the pope has ever been immersed in water for the remission of their sins. If the person is immersed in water for the forgiveness of their sins, then God does not place that person under the pope but they are put directly under Jesus and their spirits are fathered into the true Ekklesia or church of Jesus Christ. So not one catholic under the pope is saved or not one Catholic living under the pope is in the Church belonging to Christ, because they are not immersed in water as Jesus command them to do. The Only Church that Christ Established Is the Catholic or the universal Church but not the catholic or universal church whose head is the pope.

So why do we have the false transliterated word “Baptize” or “baptism” translated into our English translated Bibles. It is the work of Satan and his disciples when you see the word transliterated as “Baptize” or “Baptism” written in our modern translated English Bibles.

The first Bible translations of the command to be immersed.
The early church needed few translations. Believers copied and circulated Scriptures in Greek that everyone could read. During the 4th century, Latin began to replace Greek as the common Bibl language. Several Latin translations, often inaccurate, leaked into circulation. The Catholic Church of Rome needed an official translation into the Latin language.

Pope Damasus assigned the job of translating the Vatican Codex into the Latin Vulgate to the scholar Jerome. Jerome was the theological advisor of the Pope Damasus. Perhaps Jerome was the most learned man of the time. Jerome’s translation, called the Latin Vulgate (meaning vulgar or common) became the Bible of the middle Ages.
It was in the end of the fourth century the Catholic Priest by the name of Jerome, translated the Greek Bible from out of the Greek Vatican Codex into what is later identified as the Latin Vulgate. See Nicene And Post Nicene Fathers Volume 6, page 151.

There are three stages of Jerome’s work of Scripture Translation. The first translation is made during Jerome’s stay at Rome, A.D. 382-385, when he translated only from the Greek-the New Testament from the Greek mss., and the Book of Psalms from the Septuagint or the LXX. The second translation of Jerome is the period immediately after his settlement at Bethlehem, when he translated still from the LXX., but marked with obeli and asterisks the passages in which that version differed from the Hebrew, the third translation was made from a.d. 390-404. Now you can begin to understand how long the catholic church has been sprinkling and calling their sprinkling or pouring water as “Baptism” and not obeying the command of Jesus to be immersed in water for the remission of their sins.

Today we get the false transliterated word “Baptize” instead of the true word “immerse” from a false translation made by Jerome in the fourth century. Inherit in the Greek word “Baptizo,” is explaining to the student the mode of the passive act to be done to the person is to be passively place under water. If you say in the Bible Greek to be “baptizo” you are actually saying to be immersed in water -unto the remission of your sins (see Bible Greek of Acts 2:38).

Carefully notice. At this late date, we do not want to do Jerome a disservice, because we do have some records that tell us, Jerome fought for an exact translation of the Greek word “Baptizo” from the ancient books of the Judaic Greek Bible. However Jerome lost the fight to the ancient heretical Catholic Church and the Pope Damasus that ruled the catholic church in his day.

Today some false translation and false set times to worship God, still exist in the mistranslated records brought over by Jerome and the ancient Catholic church.
In a study of secular history shows how men translate the Bible Greek word “Baptizo.” History shows that Jerome wanted to translate the Bible Greek word “Baptizo” as men should translate the Bible Greek word “Baptizo” as “immerse,” (see the correct translation by Rotherham as the word immerse, in the Emphasized Bible Acts 2:38).

Because most all of the ancient Catholic church were sprinkled for Baptism, the Pope Damasus refused to allow Jerome to make the correct translationwhen the apostle Peter command that you must be immersed in order to be saved. However the Pope Damasus did allow Jerome to transliterate the word “Baptizo” so it would have the same phonetic sound, similar to the original Bible Greek. Here is the translation of Jerome Acts 2:38
Petrus vero ad illos paenitentiam inquit agite et baptizetur unusquisque vestrum in nomine Iesu Christi in remissionem peccatorum vestrorum et accipietis donum Sancti Spiritus. (Bold of the word baptizetur is mine).

In the above Latin notice the false transliteration of the Greek word Baptizo by Jerome, which Latin word baptize is later adapted by the church of England because they also were not immersing in water but they were sprinkling as did the catholic church. The church of England or the king James versions was another transliteration the Greek word Baptizo into the English Bibles so again we get the false word “Baptize” written into our modern English language Bibles coming directly from Jerome and the Catholic church.

Henry the eighth and The Protestant Church of England separated from the Catholic church, The early church of England, Henry the eighth and his grand son who was King James, both were the head of the church of England. All the church of England were also “sprinkling” their members as the mode of their “Baptism.”

For the church of England to translate the word “Baptizo” as “immersion” would have condemned their sprinkling for “Baptism” by the king James translators of the Bible. The English translators of the king James Bible also refused to correctly translate the Greek word “Baptizo” as the English word “immerse,” so they opted to transliterate as the word to the equivalent of “Baptize” as did the ancient Pope Damasus required of Jerome.

Then by the decree of the Pope Damasus, and later King James, by Jerome transliterating the Bible Greek word “Baptizo” would leave out the true understanding what is the mode of the command of Jesus to be immersed. Salvation through immersion is left to the Bible student to determine what is the true meaning of the Bible Greek word “Baptizo.”

The Greek word see Strong’s Bible dictionary number 907 baptizw baptizo bap-tid’-zo from a derivative of 911; Theological Dictionary of New Testament words - 1:529,92; verb
The Authorized Version or the King James version incorrectly translates the Greek “Baptizo” as - baptize (76 times), correct wash 2 times, incorrect baptist 1 time, incorrect baptized + 2258 1; altogether they transliterate Baptizo some 80 times. Only two times does the King James Bible correctly translate the Bible word “Baptizo” as to wash or immerse. We might ask why? The King James version of the translated Bible transliterate the Greek Bible word “Baptizo” as “Baptized” because no one was being immersed as the Greek word meaning of “Baptizo” describes we must be immersed in water unto the remissionof our sins.

Now notice the dictionary differences between the true definitions of the Greek Word “baptizo” in the English language. The correct definition of the Greek word Baptizo is given by most trusted Bible scholars as;
1) to dip repeatedly, to immerse, to submerge (of vessels sunk)
2) to cleanse by dipping or submerging, to wash, to make clean with water, to wash one’s self, bathe
3) to overwhelm
Here is the only correct translation of the apostle Peter's command in Acts 2:38 by Rotherham’s version in the Emphasized Bible and a few others that are rejected by the most ignorant or careless tradition bound people; “Repent and be immersed unto the remission of your sin,”

Beware and take notice the false definitions of the transliteration of the Greek word “Baptizo” as “Baptize” in the English language

13. Does the Bible clearly teach us who should be immersed?
(A) Jesus taught that all must humble self as a little child before obedience to the command to be immersed in water unto the remission of sins (Matthew 18:1-5).
We must put on the attitude to make our minds teachable for truth and then believe what is written. Jesus did not say to baptize little children but adults are to put on the attitude or to become teachable as little children.
(B) All must study to show themselves approved of God (2Timothy 2:16). Those who are taught are to go and teach others what Jesus has taught the apostles (Matthew 28:19). We must study scripture and understand that we must fully commit self to all of God’s perquisites before and after all that follows our immersion in water.
(C) Those who believe were immersed in water (Romans 10:9-10).
(D) Those who repent were immersed in water (Acts 17:30).
(E) Those who Confess that Jesus is Lord and that they are sinners were immersed in water (Acts 8:37).
(F) Those who gladly received the word were immersed in water (Acts 2:41).

According to all the above requirements for immersion would eliminate infants and children who can not possibly understand the commitment we must make to self and to God in our immersion in water for our sins.

Some by their man made traditions and without scriptural authority, “Baptize” or sprinkle infants and children who are unable to meet the requirements to understand or believe.

We must reason scripture; does God require infants and those who can not possibly understand what is being done to them when they are immersed, baptized or sprinkled?

Ephesians 4:4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
5 One Lord, one faith, “one immersion”
6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. (quotations, Bold and underlining is mine)

Keep in mind, reading the above verse God is calling you and in the one hope of your calling by One God, there is only “one immersion in water” to be put into Christ and have sins removed. Jesus taught only one immersion John 3:1 ¶ There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.
3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born?
5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

Jesus set us an example of only one immersion in water
Mark 1:9 ¶ And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was immersed of John in Jordan.
10 And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him:
11 And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
Jesus was not “baptized,” he was immersed in water. Some will teach and say to be baptized is the same as being immersed. No it is not! There is no room to sprinkle or pour in the definition of the Greek word “Baptizo” that was done to Jesus.
Men teach many different types of immersions, there is the immersion in the Holy spirit, immersion in water, to suffer the immersion of pain. Some teach many different methods of different baptisms (immersion, pouring, sprinkling, self hypnosis) and many different reasons one need or does not need to be what they call being “baptized.” What does the Bible teach clearly about the “one immersion” for those who are called by The One God?
This is Our Introduction Gestalt
This study is about the “One immersion” and the only immersion God requires for New Testament Christians.
We make this study about what is the “one” New Testament Immersion, which is a complete in-depth Bible study we must make for the salvation of our spirits.
God made His plan for the salvation of man. God knew that Satan and his angels would do everything in their power to try to change His plan for the salvation of all mankind.
God knew that Satan and his disciples would try to make it appear to us that we did not need to do what God requires us to do in His plan to save ourselves.
God also knew that if we discover what we are required to do to be saved, Satan would try to deceive us in the purpose of the One immersion in water. God knew Satan would make the purpose of what God requires of us to do to be saved, appear to be of no value to God or to us. This has been the purpose of Satan and his disciples, to lie and deceive before the creation of the world. Jesus said of Satan,
John 8:44 b. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

1) We must study scripture with a true heart and separate ourselves from the teaching of Satan.
We must first ask self, “What is my attitude toward the study of God’s word according to the One immersion God requires of all believers in Jesus?”
Some refuse immersion in water and hold the attitude they want to be saved like the thief on the cross. At the time the thief was crucified with Jesus, there were thousands who had been immersed in water by either John the Baptist (Luke 3:3) or more than John had been immersed in the immersion taught by Jesus (John 4:1-
2). Today no one knows for certain, if, the thief on the cross was or was not immersed into the water immersion of Jesus before he was crucified. To refuse immersion in water for the remission of their sins, some out of preconceived ideas, make hypothetical situations such as, for an example you are struck dead by lightening while you are on the way to be immersed in water. They question, would God not save the person who is struck dead by lightening on their way to be immersed? The person was not immersed in water but believed, repented of all known sins against God and confessed Jesus is Lord but died on the way to be immersed in water.

We in error could use the same reasoning as the above by saying God should save a person who does not believe in Jesus. For example, supposing you were struck dead by lightening before you heard or believed in Jesus? Before you ever heard about God or his son Jesus or understood the truth about believing in God or immersed in water, would you still be saved -if God knew that after you learned the truth you would have surely believed and obeyed Jesus? Being struck by lightening you never had the chance to believe but God knew you would have obeyed, then should God save you? We can not be proud and then try to reason decisions that belong only to God and refuse to do what He commands us to do.
If you care less for truth and then look for a way to deceive self and disobey God in your immersion in water, then God will surely send you a lie so that you will believe a lie and then be damned in your self deception. Read 2 Col. 2:10
And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

In attitude, we must first get our hearts right before we make any Bible study on any subject. Jesus demands from us that before we can see his kingdom or the true church that belongs to Christ, we must humble self or become teachable as a little child (Mat. 18:1-4).

Jesus demands before we are able to understand what we are reading or studying we must first prepare humility in our seat of emotion (attitude) to be able to see the true church or the kingdom of God.

All your life, you can study or diligently search scripture to find the true church or the kingdom of God, but if you refuse to first prepare the mind to accept truth, Jesus said you will never see the kingdom of God. If you refuse to humble and allow your heart to be teachable to the word of God, Jesus said, you will never be able to so much as see how to get into the true church or the kingdom of God (Mat 18:1-4).

After we put on the attitude to become teachable, then we study the scriptures and determine for our selves through Bible study, where our spirits will spend eternity. Humble self and reject the teaching of all men and accept only what the scriptures teach abundantly clear for our salvation. If a man can show clearly through scripture, that we hold contradictions in what we believe, then we are holding the wrong belief.

To settle our minds conclusively and determine what is the will of our God for our eternal spirits, we must determine first, what is the “one scriptural immersion in water” for those whom God calls out of the world to be His people?

Do you have an average intelligence? If you can read and understand what you read, then God has made it possible for you to study the Bible records and learn with certain what is His will for the salvation of your spirit.

The “Christian” world is divided in many teachings of the Bible on important matters of how God saves us. The reason men divide is caused through misunderstanding and blatantly false teaching that is designed by Satan only to deceive us.

The works of Satan and his disciples are everywhere. It is obvious, some rebel and reject what God hands down for us to do for our salvation. All believers must agree, Satan and his disciples do not want you to be saved.
Satan and his disciples will try to deceive us and then say there is no work that we can do to save ourselves. If there is a work God requires for our salvation, then there is always someone who rejects the good works of God that save us. There are multitudes who refuse to do the good works that God demands that men must do to be saved. Shrewd and adroit men with the cunning of Satan fabricate lies to deceive true understanding of what God would have us do to be saved.

Learning truth then becomes your responsibility to run a gauntlet against the maze of many lies about the purpose of “one immersion” and determine what is the true decision of God for our “one immersion.”

Some hate the truth of God; at the same time they would try to stop you from obeying God and keep you from being saved.

Without first humbling the seat of emotion and then make a complete Bible study on the subject of scriptural immersion in water, you can let other men decide where you will spend your eternity either in heaven or in hell. Without knowing and obeying truth, you will never know where you stand with God until that awesome day that you face God in judgment.

If you are not immersed correctly, then at your death, and after your death it would be too late for you to be immersed with the “one true immersion” (if, God truly requires immersion in water for the purpose as a step to be saved).

We must keep in mind, all our decisions must be in one accord with the salvation plan of God or else we will face God in judgment.

AGAINST FALSE TEACHING God is calling you to truth. Study and accept the correct mode of the “One immersion,” and the true purpose of the “One immersion” in your calling by God. I can not begin to impress upon you, the necessity or the importance of understanding the decision of God for your obedience to that “One true immersion” Ephesians 4:4. 4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
5 One Lord, one faith, one immersion,
We must be very careful to humble and empty self of preconceived notions and allow ourselves to examine through reasoning, every scripture.
Then after a complete, study accept only what the scriptures clearly teach us about that “one immersion.”
Before any immersion, study these scriptures carefully and then always be firm and demand truth and apply only the truth you understand through study, by taking the safe course in your immersion. You will be safe and content and you will be satisfied you have taken the only safe course in obedience to God in your immersion.
God describes in definite detail of all the necessities of our salvation. God is very descriptive in things that are “sacred” (something or a work that we are to do that is necessary for our salvation).
God gives prerequisites (something necessary before hand) to the correct “One immersion.”
In everything that is sacred or a work that is necessary for salvation that is taught in the New Testament, God always creates an Old Testament type, figure or shadow of every teaching necessary for salvation of all Christians. God prefigured in the Old Testament all things necessary for salvation taught in the New Testament. We then look to the Old Testament to see how that work of salvation by water immersion is prefigured.

How can we know a work for God is a sacred work that saves? If there is not prefigured in the Old Testament a type, figure or shadow of what men call a sacred work taught in the New Testament, then that teaching of a work that is not prefigured in a type, figure or shadow in Old Testament teaching, is not a necessity for salvation of God in the New Testament.

How many different immersions are taught in all the New And Old Testaments?
First, we will give four Old Testament patterns or types of the anti-type of our “one immersion” taught in the New Testament.

First God prefigures in patterns through the Old Testament types or models of the New Testament “one immersion.” Study the Old Testament types and figures of the New Testament scriptural water immersion closely, for in the records of the Old Testament immersions, they show what immersion is for and how immersion relates to salvation for Christian life in the New Testament.

1) Salvation by water is prefigured as a Christian immersion by the flood waters that saves Noah and seven other souls but note carefully and remember, the same water that saves Noah and his family, destroys all other living (1Pet. 3:17-21) Peter said the water that saves Noah and his family, is a model or a figure of how water immersion now saves all Christians.

2) There are records of water immersion taught by Moses for those who are made ceremonially unclean. We will give records of the different immersion through Moses later in this article.

3) There is a record of the salvation of ancient Israel in Egypt, who was worshipping the Egyptian pagan gods. Now note carefully the following times and dates that God created to convince the most doubtful. God immersed and saved all Israel in the sea and in the cloud on the eighteenth day from the dark of the Moon or beginning at the moment of the same night of the dark moon Abib. The Greek record declares that Jesus resurrects from the tomb precisely at the same supper time moment that God begins to immerse ancient Israel as they cross the sea. Jesus resurrects at the same supper time of the eighteenth day of Abib, to justify or Passover and deliver from bondage to sin, all Christians who are immersed into the resurrection moment of Jesus (Ex. 14; 1Cor. 10:1-3; Mat. 28:1; Rom. 4:25; 6:1-7).

4) There is the Immersion of the Holy spirit giving special powers to the apostles (Ex. 14). Acts 2:1-
5) There is the immersion of repentance by John the Immerser and the immersion of fire. John the Immerser said; Matthew 3:11 I indeed immerse you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall immerse you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:

Live in such a way and pray that your spirit does not get immersed in the lake of fire (Revelation. 2:14-15).
6) Jesus speaks of an “immersion” of pain and suffering Matthew chapter 20: verse 23.

There are many different scriptural references in the Old Testament types or shadows that show how obedience to the New Testament water immersion is saving men and women of the church.
A) The Grace of God In The Old Testament (O. T.) A Type of Christian Salvation through faith. - Moses a man wanted for the murder of an Egyptian (Ex. 2:11-15). Moses is a descendant of Abraham and also a prince of Egypt. Moses is at first worshipper of the pagan gods of Egypt. Moses is called by God and is converted to God from out of his Egyptian paganism (Ex. 3:2). At first, all Israel in Egypt, were continual worshippers of the pagan gods of Egypt. Because of God’s promise to Abraham, He has chosen or He calls all Israel, a sinful group of the descendants of Abraham, to stop sinning and to be His special “called out” people.
God said, Leviticus 26:12 And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye shall be my people.
In the Old Testament type or model, God gives laws to direct the physical bodies of the Israelites to be and example for the coming spiritual Christian or the called out people of God. There is a difference in the state law that God gives to the Israelites that controls the moral conduct of their bodies. Through the state, the moral law of God is enforced by the state. For the Israelite, they agreed there is no separation of religion and state. To be born into the state of the Israelite there was no choice but to become under force of the Law of God.
The New Testament ante type of the coming law of God to the Christians, would rest on the heart (the seat of emotion) of the person to accept or not accept God’s law of for the spirit. In all Bible teaching, there is no such separation of law form state enforcement. Only men separate the moral law of God from state enforcment. God continues to make moral laws over all people. If the state will not force a person to be moral then God will punish them forever out of His presence those who refuse to keep His moral law. God still expects moral men to force God's morality upon the wicked. When moral men fail to demand men to keep the morals of God, then God send his curse upon all who are immoral and all who allow immorality.
The old Testament is the type, these special people “Israel,” are being used by God to show the Christian world that is to come, the mind of God or how God wants His special called out people to reason their salvation from God.
The Old Testament model, figure or type, is the special people Israel in a type or model of God's people in physical bondage to the Egyptians and in need for the grace of god to deliver them from their physical bondage. The called out ante type of the Christian are in spiritual bondage because of sin and they need the grace of God for they can do anything to deliver themselves from their spiritual bondage to sin.

A) Old Testament Type or Model. God promised Abraham to save the descendants of Abraham. The Israelites or the descendants of Abraham are living in Egypt and they were helpless in their physical bondage to help themselves. Notice now carefully, at first or in the beginning of their salvation (deliverance from physical bondage) God offers His Grace to all Israel. Not one Israelite was doing any good works for God before He by Grace made a way to delivered all believing Israel from their physical bondage. None no not one of all Israel can boast that they were doing good works for God to cause God to deliver them from their bondage to the Egyptians. God sends His servant Moses to reveal God's grace and the plan of God deliver and save all Israel. Moses is the model or figure of the coming Jesus. Both Moses and Jesus reveal the grace of God and the plan of salvation to escape bondage of people called out..
A) The New Testament Anti-type. Peter warns us in Second Peter 2: verse 19, b, for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage. Before God give his grace, all people of the earth sin against God and all spirits of earth exist in spiritual bondage because all people sin. All People of earth are helpless to help themselves in their bondage to sin. Before God give His grace to the sinful world, not one person or human spirit is obeying God in truth to cause God to send Jesus to earth to deliver the human spirit from bondage to sin (Ephesians 2:1-9). Then by Grace, God sends Jesus and his law of faith to deliver the world of sinners (Nay: but by the law of faith.
See Romans chapter 4: verse 27 b.

B) O. T. Type or figure, by the Grace God, He first converts Moses from out his paganism, to lead ancient Israel out of their physical bondage to the Egyptians (Ex. 3: verse 4). Note very carefully, it was only by Grace through faith that God saved all Israel (including Moses). Moses was a prince of Egypt. By Grace and by their faith in the grace that God gives to ancient Israel, He makes the way to send Moses to lead all believing Israel out of their slavery and into the promised land. Through Grace and by Faith, all Israel must obey God through the commands He gave through Moses, so all Israel can be saved. If Israel did not accept the plan that God gives through grace and without faith and obedience to the plan or the work of God, all Israel would not have been saved.
Through faith all Israel accepts the grace of God and obeys through faith the plan of God to save them. All Israel must begin to accept the grace of God and go to work to save themselves from bondage to the Egyptians..
The O. T. Type - God commands through Moses. The entire congregation (men and women and children) of Israel must altogether kill the Hebrew “Echad” or “One” Lamb for Passover. All Israel are to kill the spotless “Echad” or “one” lamb counting from the first dark night on the fourteenth day of the moon Abib (Exodus 12:2-6). (After leaving bondage and in keeping the annual memorial of the Passover, only the priest shall kill the Passover lamb.)

B) The N. T. Ante-type-is all people are sinners and all though sin, kill Jesus the lamb of God (Isaiah. 53:5; Romans. 3:23; 5:12). The “Echad” lamb of Israel in Egypt, is a type of the coming Jesus the lamb of God that takes away the sins of the world (see John 1:29).

C) The Old Testament Type-of the Christian Passover is given to Israel during the moon named Abib, or the resurrection moon. Abib is the resurrection moon, or the third moon from the solstice in the northern hemisphere when there is fruiting, sprouting and budding of vegetation (Ex. 12). The Hebrew “Echad” or one perfect lamb, the whole assembly of the congregation of sinful Israel shall kill it (men, women and children) for the sacrifice for their Passover of their deliverance. Eat the one lamb in one house at supper time of the evening. Start counting from sunset of the first dark night, to the sunset of the fourteenth dark night, then kill the lamb between the two evenings. Then on the fifteenth night from the first dark of the -third moon from the winter solstice, in the northern hemisphere, eat the lamb behind closed doors with the blood of the lamb around the door (not on the door). At supper time on this night, God Passed Over all Israel but all Israel are not yet saved from Pharaoh and their physical bondage to the Egyptians. Israel must be immersed in water by God, before they can be completely saved from their bondage. Israel doe not need to touch water but Israel needs to be completely covered with water to a type of salvation for all Christians to be saved by water.

C) The New Testament Anti-type- Some think it was God who killed Jesus but it was our sins that caused Jesus to come to earth to suffer and to die a horrible death. Isaiah 53:4 ¶ Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. It was on the same night, the beginning of the same day that Israel was to kill the Echad Lamb, on the same fourteenth day of the moon Abib, Jesus ordains how all Christian are to observe his Passover memorial that he will eat with his disciples in the kingdom of the Father. On the night of the fourteenth day of the moon Abib, Jesus commands his disciples how to celebrate his New Passover that is to be eat in the kingdom of the Father or his church (kingdom) (Luke 22:7, 14-16).
Note how Jesus The Lamb of God, was slaughtered for the sins of the world on the same fourteenth day of the moon Abib (Luke 22:7, Rom. 4:25). Jesus was on the tree and dying at the same sixth hour of the same day light (midday) that ancient Israel was commanded by God to slaughter their echad (one) Lamb for the Echad (One) household (See Hebrew of Deut. 16:6 when the sun begins to bow or at midday. In the Greek the preparation of the Passover lamb is meaning to kill the lambs at about the sixth hour see John 19:14). Jesus was slaughtered for the salvation of all believers at the same moment when ancient Israel are to kill the Hebrew “Echad” or one lamb for their memorial of their Passover. The Passover memorial of ancient Israel, starts their deliverance from Egyptian bondage (see Hebrew when the sun bows or starts to go down at midday (Deut. 16:6; John 19:14).
D) The O. T. Type- After all Israel kill the “one spotless lamb” for each “one household,” it is on a night of the full moon, at supper time, on the night of the fifteenth day of the moon Abib, God Passed Over all the first born of Israel and all Israel who remain inside their houses (Ex. 12).
D) The N. T. Anti-type- Jesus is being entombed at the beginning of this night at the Judaic Greek time of “opse” or at the end of the day light period near the beginning of the fifteenth day of the moon Abib (Mat. 27:57). Jesus also is recorded to be completely entombed at the Bible Greek “Epiphosko” or at lamp-lighting time of the beginning new day (See Greek of Luke 23:57). (Israel is to eat their Passover on the same fifteenth night of a full moon.)
From the exact moment at supper time of his entombment, Jesus remains in the tomb three full night periods and three full day light periods [in that order] (Mat. 12:38-40).
E) The O. T. Type Two nights and three days later, at supper time, on the fourth day from Passover and at supper time on the eighteenth day of the moon Abib, God begins to immerse in water and save ancient Israel as they begin to cross the “Sea of Reeds” (some translate Red Sea) (Exodus 14) Again note The Old Testament type (O.T.) or shadow of salvation with water and the anti-type of immersion in Water for salvation from sin. - The water immersion of ancient Israel is calculated to begin at supper time of sunset or evening at the beginning of the eighteenth day from the first dark night of the moon Abib. Note carefully, the new day of God begins at sunset of evening or at supper time.
All Israel are saved in their deliverance by God surrounding them in the sea and in the cloud which is a type of the Christian immersion in water. Notice carefully now and write this down in your memory, through a water immersion God saves all Israel, at supper time, on the night of the eighteenth day from the first dark night of the resurrection moon Abib (Ex. 14).
E) The anti-type for Christians. On this same night of the eighteenth day , counting from the dark night of the moon Abib, God Passed Over and saves all Christians, at the same supper time moment of the same night when through our passive act of immersion in water, God be-gets or fathers or gives new birth again to our dead sinful spirits (1Pet. 1:3). Through our immersion in water, God fathers our spirits into the awesome power of the resurrection moment of Jesus which resurrection was precisely at supper time of day One of the Sabbaton (the cycle of sevens) (Rom. 6:1-7; 6:1-7; 1Pet. 1:3; 3:21). Note carefully, the resurrection moment of Jesus is also computer calculated to be precisely at sunset (supper time) of the eighteenth day of the moon Abib. This paralleling and joining miraculous events of time is creating an awesome convincing power in the Bible text and shows the need for the spirit to immerse their body in water so the spirits of men can be immersed into the power of the awesome resurrection moment of Jesus.
Anti-type- All Disciples of Jesus are saved on the same night at supper time of the eighteenth day of the moon Abib, and another record of time states we are saved by the resurrection on the beginning night of the Bible Greek day “Mia” or “day one” of the cycle of the seven days of God (Mat 28:1: John 20:1). (Note carefully, this is a very important to remember, the resurrection moment of Jesus, is not mentioned in the Bible Greek record, to be on any part of any “Week” days of the ancient Roman sky gods.) If your Bible translates that Jesus resurrected on the day of the ancient Roman sun god, Sunday or the first day of the week of the sky gods, they you have a false translated Bible.
Through the One immersion into the resurrection of Jesus for the disciples of Jesus, God be-gets again the dead spirits of all Christians or God fathers their spirits again to life, through the supper time resurrection of Jesus (1Pet. 1:3). Salvation for the believer in Christ is through their passive act of immersion in water to receive salvation given by God (1Pet. 3:17-21).
N. T. Anti-type -We are saved by immersion in water immersion.
Through obedience to God by immersion in Water, then God adds the obedient spirit to the saving power of the awesome resurrection moment of Jesus, which was at supper time at the beginning of day One (See Greek of Mat. 28:1).
On the same night of the eighteenth day of the Moon Abib God resurrect Jesus and in his resurrection when we are passively immersed in water God passes over all the obedient disciples of Christ. We are warned by the apostle Paul, not to keep our memorial of that awesome salvation event by keeping or measuring the cycles of the moon (Col. 2:16) ¶ Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the Sabbath days:
17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ. We are commanded by the Hebrew writer, not to forsake the assembling of ourselves together (Hebrews 10:25), but we are to keep the memorial of the resurrection moment of our Passover memorial, at supper time on the beginning night of Day Mia or day One (see example Acts 20:7).
F) The O. T. Type- The Old Testament Type of salvation through water immersion - Ex. 14:30 Thus the LORD saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea shore.
F) The N. T. Anti-type- The Old Testament type of Israel’s salvation on the night of the eighteenth day of the moon Abib, through water immersion at supper time, is recorded to save in the New Testament Anti-type at the same time of the Moon Abib. Jesus is recorded to resurrect at the same supper time of evening, on the same eighteenth day from the dark of the moon Abib, when at the same supper time, God immersed ancient Israel in water and by the grace of God, and He saved all Israel from their Egyptian bondage in their obedience through faith. On this same number of the night of the moon Abib that all Israel are saved by their immersion, Through his resurrection moment, Jesus saves all Christians, all believers are Passed Over or saved from their bondage to sin on this night of the resurrection.
G) The O. T. Type -On the night of the eighteenth day from the first dark night of the moon Abib, God Passively completely covered all Israel with water and with water God saved them from the Egyptians. Note carefully, and write this down in your memory, the same water that God used to save ancient Israel He used to kill the enemies of ancient Israel.
G) The N. T. Anti-type According to the Greek record Jesus did not resurrect on any part of the Sabbath day or the pagan day of “Sunday.” The Bible record teaches us that all Christians are immersed into the power of the resurrection moment of Jesus on the same night of the eighteenth day of the moon Abib and on the cycle of day one (Rom. 4:25; Rom. 6:1-7; 1Pet. 1:3; 3:21). The salvation of all immersed Christians is through their immersion in water into the resurrection moment of Jesus. The awesome resurrection moment of Jesus, coincides with the same supper time moment of the Moon Abib, when all Israel is beginning to be immersed in the sea and in the cloud.
Satan and his disciples through false Bible translations, confuse the resurrection moment of Jesus (see the book, The Conspiracy To Change Bible Time By Willard R. Wade see web-site at www.biblementor.com). However a few Bible translators translate the truth about the true and exact resurrection moment of Jesus. The Greek Bible records teach that Jesus resurrects at sunset of God’s day He named in the Hebrew “Echad” or in the Greek “Mia” or “day one.” Jesus is recorded to resurrect at sunset, at the same time of day as when he was placed in the tomb. Matthew records in the Greek that Jesus is entombed at sunset at “opse” or at the end of the daylight period (Mat 27:57). Luke records Jesus is entombed at the Greek “Epiphosko” or at “lamp lighting” at sunset, calculated to be the beginning new fifteenth day of the moon Abib (Luke 23:57).
In a Bible Greek study of the resurrection moment, Jesus is recorded by Matthew to resurrect precisely, at the Greek “opse” or at the end of the Sabbath day (see correct translation at the end of the Sabbath by King James version Mat. 28:1). The end of the Sabbath is at sunset of evening and at the very next moment after the Judaic Greek time of “opse” is recorded the Greek time of “Epiphosko” or lamp-lighting of the very beginning of God’s day “Mia” or “day One of the Sabbaths.” See the Greek word “Opse” or “the end of the Sabbaths” (The actual resurrection moment of Jesus is on our modern Saturday night at sunset).
Matthew also records the resurrection moment of Jesus to be at the Judaic Greek time at “Epiphosko” or at the Judaic Greek time of lamp-lighting time of the day “Mia” or “day One of the Sabbaths” (the cycle of the sevens) (See Greek of Mat. 28:1.) Then all new Testament Christians who are immersed correctly and through their “one immersion,” by the saving power of God, He adds them to the assembly or the body of Christ, and to the awesome saving power of the resurrection moment of Jesus. When all disciples of Jesus are immersed correctly, the spirits of those who are immersed correctly, are placed by God into the power of the resurrection moment of Jesus and then he adds them to the assembly or if you prefer the church belonging to Jesus the Christ. The body of the spirits who are correctly immersed, God will place the spirit into the awesome resurrection moment of Jesus. The resurrection of Jesus is at supper time on the night of God’s Bible day “Mia” or “day One” The resurrection moment of Jesus immediately follows the end of the Sabbath day at sunset of our modern Saturday night).
(4) Type The Old Testament (O.T.) type or model of immersion in water for the ceremonially unclean. There is the Old Testament salvation God gives to ancient Israel for a pattern of salvation that God gives to New Testament (N. T.) Christians in their “one immersion in water.” The O.T. type is a model prefigured by God through Moses, to make the unclean acceptable or ceremonially clean only at evening or at supper time, at the beginning of dark.
The Old Testament record of different “immersions” prefigures the New Testament “one immersion” in water. The Old Testament “type” of salvation through immersion in water compared to the New Testament “One immersion in water” or the type of washing in water in ancient Israel is a command for the unclean to wash, to make the unclean of ancient Israel outwardly acceptable.
It is very important to note carefully, the ceremonially unclean of ancient Israel, must wash or immerse in water and again take special note, they who are washed for their uncleanness, are not to be pronounced “clean” until “early dark” or the immersed in water are pronounce clean only at supper time of the evening. The time of cleanliness and salvation at the beginning of evening, is very important to notice, because all Christians are passed over and saved through their immersion in water through the resurrection of Jesus at supper time of evening.
Deut. 23:10 If there be among you any man, that is not clean by reason of uncleanness that chanceth him by night, then shall he go abroad out of the camp, he shall not come within the camp:
11 But it shall be, when evening cometh on, he shall wash himself with water: and when the sun is down, he shall come into the camp again.
Note carefully, the Old Testament ( O. T. ) pattern of salvation in the type or model of the New Testament ( N. T.) the “Ante-type” of Christian “one immersion” in water. Note what qualifies in the O. T. type as being made ceremonially clean and compare to what makes one spiritually clean in the N. T. Ante-type and through water immersion God fathers again or empowers the spirit of man and puts his spirit in contact with the cleansing blood of Jesus.
The O. T. pattern or type-If the man or woman of ancient Israel happens to become ceremonially unclean in the night, the ceremonially unclean are to go outside the camp and wash self. Man does not wash self by pouring or sprinkling water.
O. T. Type- Then before the next evening (at sunset), he or she is to bath in water and only in the evening (at supper time or near— early dark) the defiled who has washed his whole body is to be pronounced as “ceremonially clean at supper time of evening. “
O.T. Type- Only at evening can he or she who has been immersed in water return to the camp, only at the moment they are declared to be clean at sunset or evening.
God gives the O. T. type of our salvation through ancient Israel, in their being made clean from their uncleanness at supper time of evening. The immersion in water of old Israel, coincides with the N. T. Ante-type of Christian immersion in water that makes us spiritually clean through the resurrection moment of Jesus (which resurrection was also at supper time of evening of the eighteenth day of the Moon Abib and also on the beginning night of the Bible Day Mia or day One).
Note, the O. T. type of salvation for the ones of ancient Israel who are immersed, they are made ceremonially clean only a supper time of evening.
Ancient O. T. Ante type Old Israel is pronounced clean from their defilement, only after their immersion in water and at the same time of day or at the same moment of the day that parallels the evening resurrection moment of Jesus.
N.T Ante Type. The resurrection of Jesus purifies or justifies us or makes us sin-less (Rom. 4:25). Jesus died for our sins but he resurrected to justify or pass over our sins and deliver us from our bondage to sin. The resurrection moment of Jesus is our Passover from sin, when God gives salvation from bondage to sin through immersion in water (Rom. 4:25; 6:1-7; 1Pet. 1:3; 3:21). Disciples of Jesus keep their Passover memorial at supper time of evening (Acts 20:7). N. T. Christians kept their Passover memorial of Jesus every seven days near the same moment when they were Passed Over by the resurrection of Jesus on the beginning night of day One of the Sabbaths (Acts 20:7).
What is the Ante Type of immersion in water that Jesus commands as a prerequisite to being saved for all his disciples?
A. For centuries many have taught that water immersion is a miracle worker that cures all. Many teach that immersion can do any and everything to save from sin. Others teach that water immersion is non essential for salvation. Then others are teaching that all must be “baptized” by sprinkling or pouring to be saved (and they include infants).
B) There are those who have the false understanding that immersion by the Holy Spirit is the kind of immersion by which we ought to be immersion today.
Some believe in the immersion in the name of Jesus only.
Some believe the believer is saved before immersion while others believe that one is to be immersion unto the remission of their sins. We need to understand from our study of the New Testament scriptures, which mode of immersion does the Bible clearly teach us is the correct way to be immersed into the resurrection moment of Jesus. We also must understand, at what point are we Passed Over, saved or justified from our slavery to sin?
C) There is One Lord, One Faith and One immersion (Ephesians. 4:5). The Bible was originally written in the Judaic dialect of the Koine Greek language.
The New Testament ancient Koine or common Greek word eiz (pronounced Hice) which means, for those who are called out of the world and to be fathered again into Christ through “One immersion” in Water. For those who are called by God, there is absolutely none other immersion required to put our spirits into the resurrection “Passover” of Christ, but only “One” kind of water immersion.
We must determine what the “one immersion” is that Jesus requires of us all for our salvation?
Does Water immersion Save The Disciples of Jesus? Is Immersion in water truly a work that Jesus demands of us and does the work of immersion in truth save us? Could we be saved without the work of water immersion as many teach? It is true; water immersion is a passive act or a work by man in obedience to the command of God? What we must determine in our study, does our good works in obedience to God save us?
If God requires work to be saved, Satan and his disciples are going to try to stop you from doing the good work that God requires of His people to do to be saved. Beware, Satan and his disciples will tell you that “Your good works for God is worth no more to God than filthy rags.” Do not be deceived (Col. 2:8).
Martin Luther was the first man known in recorded history to begin to teach that we are saved by faith alone and not by any works of our own. Martin Luther taught our good works for God mean nothing more to God than filthy menstrual rags (See writings of Martin Luther and is translated by John Dillenburger see page 116).
Because the book of James taught the good works of God save the spirit that does the work, Martin Luther hated the book of James and he wanted to remove the book of James from the canon of the Bible. Martin Luther has spawned a world of false teaching that has deceived multiplied millions.
The work of “One immersion” in Water is only a part of the “Doctrine of Christ" we keep that saves us.
Against the false teaching of Martin Luther and all who follow him, the apostle Paul is very clear to teach that we are saved by the work of keeping the doctrine of Christ.
1 Timothy 4:16 Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.
Will our hearts allow us to accept that our works in keeping the doctrine of Jesus that saves us?
The apostle Paul wrote that keeping the doctrine of Christ is a work that saves self. Anyone who teach we are not saved by our works of keeping the doctrine of Christ, and then they are teaching against the apostle Paul and the doctrine of Christ.
Beware, if men do not teach the doctrine of Christ, then they are teaching the doctrine of Satan.
Then we are warned by the same Paul; Col. 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
Jesus said that believing is a work John 6:29 Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.”
Jesus is very clear to teach us that to believe in Jesus is a work that saves.
A Believer is an overcomer. John also wrote that a believer is synonymous “only” with the one who overcomes the world. “Who is it that overcomes the world? Only he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God (1John 5:5).
The apostle John said to qualify as a believer in Christ is only by the worker who overcomes the world. To be identified as a true believer in Christ, you must be qualified by your works as one who overcomes the world. According to John, if we are not workers who overcome the world, then we are not true believers in Christ Jesus. Then correctly stated the worker who overcomes in truth is the only kind of believer to be qualified as the “believer” in Christ.
So the “One immersion” is a work of God that saves by overcoming.
6. What Is The True Mode of the “One Immersion”?
(A) Does the Bible define the mode of the “One Immersion” that saves?
(B) Is the English word “Baptism” an immersion in water, a pouring, a sprinkling, or a super natural feeling or emotion that will cause the person to act strangely -which one? Just as the English dictionary says the word baptism can be any mode, pouring, sprinkling, and immersion in water. However the English word “Baptism is not a Bible word but is a transliterated word that has many different meanings. The Greek Bible word see Strong’s Greek word number 4916 sunyaptw sunthapto soon-thap’-to meaning to bury or immerse in water
Immerse in water has only one meaning to bury in water.

The Bible word definition that commands immersion, comes from the stem of the Greek word baptw “Bapto;” that means to bury and wash, to dip, plunge, overwhelm or to immerse.
In the ancient Koine Greek, in the historic language we read where people immersing their clothes to clean them. A ship that is said to be sinking is described in the ancient Koine Greek as being “Baptizo.” You do not wash clothes or sink a ship by shaking water in their direction or pouring water on them. You do not wash clothes or sink a ship by sprinkling water on them. You do not immerse or wash people by sprinkling pouring a little water on them.
Immersion the whole person in water or a burial in water is the true Scriptural Definition of The Word Immersion found in the following verse: Rom. 6:3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were Immersed into Jesus Christ were immersed into his death?
4 Therefore we are buried with him by immersion into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
According to this verse you do not get into Christ without a valid burial in a water immersion.
Note carefully, immersion for sin is a burial in water.
The body which is chained to the dead spirit of the old man is buried in water, and like Christ was raised out of Hell by the glory of the Father, the old body and dead spirit through the death of Jesus and immersion in water and through the raising or the resurrection of Christ, the immersed person is given new spiritual life.
Col. 2:12 Buried with him in immersion, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.
If we want to please God, we must come to a correct understanding and obey God in the manner he commands us to be immersed in water.
The immersion Of The Holy Spirit (Mat. 3:11; Mark 1:8; Luke 3:16; John 1:26, 33);
Today, do we receive the Super Natural immersion of The Holy Spirit?
A) Truly if today’s Immersion is a mystical supernatural immersion of the Holy Spirit, the Bible would be very clear on this subject. Let us reason the scriptures to determine the truth.
If all Christians are immersed in the Holy Spirit then there would not be just one immersion as the scriptures teach but there would be two immersions.
B) Who In the Bible records received the Immersion of the Holy Spirit? (Luke 24:44-48; Acts 1:1-5; 2:1-4, 14-18; 10:44-48; 11:15-16).
Notice carefully, only the apostles received the power in the immersion of the Holy Spirit. Only the apostle could pass this great power on to other disciples. When the apostles died this power to pass on the power of the Holy Spirit died with them.
C) How Was The Immersion of The Holy Spirit Received? (Acts 8:14-18; 19:1-6).
Water Immersion can not do Everything Needed To Save. The correct water Immersion can not fulfill all that is necessary for our salvation! The “One Immersion” is only a part of the work in the whole plan of God to save.
What our Immersion in water cannot do for us.
Immersion in water does not exalt over the grace of God. After obeying God in the “One water Immersion” in water does not guarantee you can not fail the grace of God (Heb.12:15).
Immersion gives no one the right to sin (Rom. 6:6).
Immersion does not remove temptation (2Timothy. 3:12).
Immersion does not replace faith or for one’s lack of faith and repentance (Hebrews. 11:6 Without Faith it is impossible to please God). Repentance is a work that saves self. (Luke 13:3; Unless you repent)—without faith and repentance (stop sinning), the true purpose of Immersion would have no value.
There are multitudes who obey the correct Immersion and are added to the Ekklesia and Kingdom of God but in all sadness and sorrow, there will be multitudes in the kingdom who back slide and refuse to repent. According to the words of Jesus, such unrepented spirits in the kingdom will be eternally lost. (Matthew 13:41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;
42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
43 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

9. Is the One Immersion Essential or Non Essential for salvation?
(A) The “One Immersion” is very essential. The apostle Peter tells us the water of Immersion does save us. For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive by the spirit, through whom also he went and preached to the spirits in prison who disobeyed long ago when God waited patiently in the days of Noah, while the ark was being built. In it only a few people, eight in all, were saved through water, and this water symbolizes immersion that now saves you also [not the removal of dirt from the body but the pledge of a good conscience toward God]. It saves you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ (1Peter 3:20-21).

Note the above verses very carefully, those who oppose being saved by the work of the “one Immersion” twist the scriptures and teach that, Peter is saying the water of “one Immersion” of the believer is only “figurative” or a “symbol” of the “water” in our salvation. Look closely at the deception false teachers make to deceive the unlearned.

Peter did not say “Just give your heart to Jesus and then you will be saved.” Those who teach “just give your heart to Jesus is all you have to do to be saved” are teaching the way of Satan to keep you from being saved.
Peter did -not say the water of our Immersion is a “figure” type or symbol of anything. Peter did say the water that saved Noah is a symbol of the water of the Christian Immersion. Do not let the disciples of Satan deceive you.
Peter -did say, the water of the “One Immersion,” was not to put away the filth of the flesh.

Peter explains how our act in obedience to God by “one water Immersion” is the answer of a good conscience toward God. The reason Water Immersion gives us a good conscience toward God is, in the passive act of immersion for sin, we take the safe course and have done precisely what God commands us to do. Peter said the water that saved Noah or eight people, is the symbol or the type of salvation by water or the anti-type of “Water of one Immersion” that now saves us. Peter taught we are saved through the resurrection of Jesus, by the water of our “one Immersion.”
Believe the command of Jesus. Jesus commands; “He that believeth and is immersed shall be saved” (Mark 16:16).

10. Which Mode of Immersion Is The Correct Mode?
(A) Jesus said; Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, immersing them into the name of the Father, and of the son and of the Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19).
I now immerse you in the name or by the authority of the Father “Y'ahweh,” and of the name of the son “Y’ahsus,” and of the name of “the Holy Spirit.”

(B) Does the Bible tell us what is required in Immersion? Yes it does!
(C) Water (Acts 10:47).
(D) Much Water (John 3:23).
(E) Going down into Water (Acts 8:38).
(F) Coming up out of the water (Acts 8:39).
(G) A Burial in Water (Rom. 6:4; Colossians. 2:12).
(H) Saves, justifies and Resurrects us with Christ ( Rom. 6:1-7; Colossians. 2:12; 1Pet. 3:21).
Peter gives the command of Jesus: Repent and be immersed unto the remission of your sins (Acts 2:38). See the Greek word “Ice” meaning “unto” or in order to receive remission of sins.

Jesus commands He that believeth and is immersed shall be saved (John 15:16). Jesus commands only those who are able to believe to be immersed. In this command Jesus shows that infants and unbelieving children are not to be immersed until they are old enough to understand and accept the purpose and the commitment one must make to God before Immersion.
If God does not require infants to be immersed, then we need to understand what wickedness motivates adults to “baptize” infant children. If God does not want infants and children who do not understand what is being done to them, to be immersed or baptized, then the only reason adults baptize to pour or to sprinkle their unbelieving infant children, is to try and lock them into their system of false belief- before children ever have a chance to read, reason or understand what is truth for themselves.
We Are Also Saved By Faith.
Notice, the apostle Paul wrote that Grace through faith in God is free. Paul wrote the faith that God gives to men is the Greek word “Nomos” or the faith of God is “law” to those who accept the faith of God.
Rom. 3: 27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.
Some modern Bibles such as the New International version, remove the word Law from this verse (See the correct translation in the Authorized Version of the Bible or the Greek dictionary the word “Nomos” Rom. 3:24). The false translators remove the word “law” from the Bible record only to change the doctrine of Christ. We must beware of some false translations when they translate the Bible record in such a manner to remove the doctrine of Christ only to deceive the reader.

(2) There are twelve gifts of grace given through Immersion. Through the gift or the grace of God [the plan], through faith or our humble belief and with a penitent heart, in our obedience to the plan of God and through the passive act of Immersion, God gives us;
(A) Without men doing any good works for God, through grace, God first sends Jesus to give the plan of salvation to all men (Rom. 3:4). Without works of man, through grace God made the way to save us. At the coming of Jesus, without any good works by man, through grace, God sent Jesus to make a way to save, when men were hating God and hating one another (Titus 3:3). When all men were in sin and all men were enemies against God (Roman 5:10), Before God sends Jesus, All men were dead in trespasses and in sin and all were in a helpless state to save themselves. Through the passive act of Immersion in obedience to the grace of God’s, He has freely made a way through Jesus to give us remission of our sins by grace giving us the plan to be immersed into God’s salvation through Jesus Acts 2: 38. It is in the giving the life of Jesus and in making the way to salvation that is given freely from God.
(B) Through our work of the passive act of Immersion, God gives us rights to life and He will cleanse us from all our sins, Acts 22:16. 1Cor. 6:11,
(C) Through the work of Immersion, God gives us our union with Christ; (Galatians. 3:27.
(D) Through the correct Immersion in Water, God adds us to the one church (body of believers) that belongs to Christ (Act 2:47); and God gives us membership in the one body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12:13). Note, it is impossible for one to obey the correct plan of God to be immersed in water to be saved and then God add their spirit to the wrong church or kingdom. Obey the correct plan of God and He will add you to the church that belongs to the Christ.
(E) Through the correct Immersion, He gives us the gift of the Holy spirit (Acts 2:38); so that we may posses the Holy spirit in our lives (1 Corinthians 12:13).
(F) Through the correct Immersion, He unites us into the death, the burial and the resurrection of Christ (Romans 6:3-6; Colossians. 2:10-12).
(G) Through the correct passive act of water Immersion, we are given a new spiritual birth or we are spiritually begotten or fathered again from the dead. Through immersion in water, God will revive our dead spirits and place our spirits into the power of the resurrection moment of Jesus (Romans 4:25; 6:1-5; 1Peter. 1:3; 3:21).
(H) Through the correct Immersion, God consecrates us unto Himself (1Corinthians 6:11).
(I) Through the correct Immersion, we are given release from the power of sin and from the guilt of sin (Romans 6:1-11; 17-18).
We are given help from God as He gives us power over our spirits. After our Immersion, we will no longer be tempted above what we are able to bear but in our Temptations, after we put forth all resistance against sin, God will make a way for us to resist (1 Corinthians 10:13 ).
(J) Through the correct Immersion, God gives new life in the spirit of God (John 3:5; Titus 3:5).
(K) Through the correct Immersion, God gives us help so we can live according to His will (Romans 6:3; 6-7; 11-14: Hebrews 4:16).
(L) Through the correct Immersion, God gives the answer of a good and humble conscience that ask: “My God in all humility of a child, I accept what you command and have been immersed in water for the true purpose that you command so I may please you and only you” (1Peter 3:21).
1 Timothy 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus
Through grace and our faith in One Immersion, God gives us rights to speak our prayers to God or call on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ will mediate our prayer to God for us (Heb. 9:15).

Through Immersion in water the church is washed. The “One church” or the One called out assembly of God that belongs to Christ, is washed or cleansed by the water through the word of God.
Ephesians 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her. V :26 to make her holy, cleansing {[26] Or } her by the washing with water through the word,
12. In conclusion, we have proven positively with the word of God, we must be immersed in water for the right reason, before God will put us in contact with the blood and resurrection of Christ and resurrect the spirit of the immersed man or woman by the power of the resurrection moment of Jesus.
Our obedience to God in Immersion or the passive act of immersion in water, God joins our spirits to the resurrection of Christ and in the act of Immersion God Fathers our dead spirits again, to a new spiritual life unto salvation in God (Rom. 4:25; Gal 3:26-27; 1Pet. 1:3; 3:21).
Without water Immersion for the explicit purpose to Father our dead spirits again unto living salvation by the power of the resurrection as is taught by the apostle Peter, then we are not saved. If we are baptized or immersed, in the wrong method or for the wrong reason, we are left without hope in this world.
Summation How To Take The First Steps To Salvation.
1) Turn around Pride, and Humble self by predisposing through the attitude or the seat of emotion to become childlike or teachable (Matthew 18:1-5),
2) Seek first the true kingdom or the true church (body) that belongs to Christ and be certain to be immersed in water for the right reason (Luke 13:31).
3) Godly sorry leads to repentance (2Corinthians. 5:20), upon learning scriptural truth, we must turn our life around. We must begin with to humble the heart to want to learn from a life time study of scripture, what is sin against God and what should we repent from. God calls every man to repent (Acts 17:30).
4) James. 5:16 Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective. (NIV) Confess to God that you realize you have sinned against God. Begin to confess Christ is Lord, before men, for the rest of your life confess that Jesus is Lord (Romans 10:9-10).
5) The people ask the apostle Peter; Men and brethren what must we do, (Acts 2:37).
Note carefully, the Jews did not ask Peter; A) “What must we believe in our heart to be saved?”
B) They did not ask Peter; what must we think to feel we are saved?
C) They did not ask Peter what kind of mystical or super natural spiritual experience we must get from the Holy Spirit to be saved.
D) They did not ask, what else will God the Father, Jesus the son or the Holy spirit do for us to save us?
The unsaved people ask Peter; what must we do? (Acts 2:37). We must accept or hear what God has to say to begin to please Him. We must put on faith (law to the faithful), or put our trust in God and then believe or “overcome” in Christ (Hebrews 11:1 11:6) We must begin to do what God demands which is the work of faith to be saved.
On the day of Pentecost; Peter Commands what men and women must do to be saved; Repent and be Immersed in water, unto [see the Greek word eis pronounced Ice -unto or into] the remissions of your sins [in brackets is mine] (Acts 2:38).
Beware of the multitude of false teachers who teach “obedience to God in the passive act of Immersion is not saving you.”
Remember, The Ice will keep you cool and from the fires of hell. Note carefully remember the Bible Greek word pronounced “Ice.” Strong’s number 1519, eis {pronounced ice}, a primary preposition; from the Theological Dictionary of New Testament - 2:420,211; prep, Authorized or King James Version translates 573 times as into, to 281, unto 207, for 140, in 138, on 58, toward 29, against 26, misc. 321; 1773
1) into, unto, to, towards, for or in order to, among
Remember the little Judaic Greek word “Ice,” The “for” in your immersion in water is always looking forward and never looking backwards, meaning, unless you use immersion for the Greek word ice unto the remission of sins now, you will suffer eternal heat later. After obedience to God by immersion in water, you will be “iced” or put into salvation by God right immediately. If you refuse the immersion in water “for” the Bible Greek word “Ice,” or immersed into or unto the forgiveness of your sins, you will surely suffer the heat later. If you were immersed, but not sure that you were immersed for the remission of your sins, then you need to be re-immersed for the true purpose of water immersion.
Repent and be immersed, every one of you, unto [see the Greek word ice] the remission of your sins and you will receive the gift of the holy spirit, for the promise is unto
you and to your children and to those who are afar off Acts 2:38 [in brackets is mine]).
Save yourself from this corrupt generation (Acts 2:40). Doing a work to save self is a sacred act that saves.
A.T. Robertson defines the Bible Greek word “Eis” or “ice” as being the same word that Jesus used to describe how he pours out his blood “for” or unto the remission of sins (Mat 26:28). When Jesus made this statement, he had not yet poured out his blood. The pouring out of the blood of Jesus for sins was poured out “for” or “unto” remission of sins later on the same day.
Henry Thayer translated the works of the German Bible scholar “Grimm” into the English language and is one of the most trusted analytical Bible Dictionary defining the meaning of the Greek words of the Bible. Thayer gives the following definition for the Greek word “ice” as is used in Acts 20:7. Thayer states Acts 20:7, the Greek word “eis” denotes the end to which a thing reaches or attains: also the end to which a thing is adapted to attain.
Arndt and Gringrich Bible dictionary explains that the word “Eis” means to; “denote purpose, in order to for the forgiveness or so that sins might be forgiven.”
If we understand what the passive act of immersion in the “One Immersion,” is doing for the believer, then we can begin to understand why immersion in water for the correct reason, then Immersion is a sacrament or an act that saves the spirit. (Also see my article; Have You been Iced For Glory?)
7) Then be immersed, buried in water “unto” the remission of your sins (Mark 16:15-16; Acts 2:38; Immersion is a burial in water Romans 6:1-7; Col. 2:16), calling on the name of the Lord to save you (Acts 22:16).
Now let us compare as an example the Conversion of Saul (the name meaning “The Exalted One). After his conversion to Christ, Saul is later renamed the apostle “Paul,” the later name meaning “The Little” or “The Insignificant One) Acts 22:1-16.
Saul (later renamed as The apostle Paul) met Jesus on the road to Damascus. Saul heard and believed in Jesus and he confessed that Jesus was “Lord,” but note Saul believed in Jesus and confessed Jesus was Lord but Saul was still in his sins.
Saul gave his heart to Jesus and fasted and prayed for three days and three nights (Acts 9:9) but Saul was still in his sins (Acts 9:1-20). After hearing and believing in Jesus and after giving his heart to Jesus, going without food or drink and praying for three days -Saul was still in his sins and in need of someone to tell him what he must do to rid himself of his sins so he could receive the gift of the holy spirit and be saved. Saul was told what he must do to be saved from his sins and he was advised by “Ananias” the man of God, to And now why tarriest thou? Arise, and be immersed, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord (Acts 22:16). The act of being immersed is to call on God who by grace has called the spirit of Saul to come out of the dead. Through the passive physical act of immersion, God gives the spirit of Saul new birth or He Fathers the dead spirit of Saul’s again and He adds the spirit of Saul into the kingdom of God and into the power of the resurrection moment of Jesus (Rom. 6:1-7; 1Pet. 1:3; 3:21).
The conversion record of Saul shows us, By grace Saul heard Jesus, and Saul believed in Jesus and confessed Who art thou, Lord? Believing and Confessing Jesus is Lord, is the first part of our work for salvation.
Believing in Jesus, praying and giving his heart and confessing Jesus to be Lord is a necessary part of salvation but hearing Jesus, believing in Jesus, confessing that Jesus is Lord alone, did not forgive Saul his sins. Saul fast and prayed for three days however, after believing and confessing in Jesus alone did not forgive Saul his sins. Saul was taught by Ananias (the man sent by God), Saul, you must get up and be immersed in water and wash away your sins, and in the passive act of you being immersed, you are calling on the name or the authority of the Lord Jesus to save you from your sins (Acts 9:1-20; 22:1-16).
8) Then begin to do the work to live forever with God in heaven.
9) A note: you do not join the church or kingdom that belongs to Christ, but, upon your act of faith as you obey the command of Jesus to be immersed in water, only through obedience to this act according to His plan, only then, God will add you to the called out people of God placing your spirit into the power of the resurrection of Jesus and He will save you from your sins (see Acts 2:47).
I beg you; do not put off your salvation. Be immersed the correct way and do it right now or if you wait it may be too late. You must force self to do what is right to get into the kingdom of God.
Jesus said, Luke 16:16 The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it. Force self or press your way into the kingdom of God and be saved.
Hear the words of Jesus, Rev. 21:6 He said to me: “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To him who is thirsty I will give to drink without cost from the spring of the water of life. :7 He who overcomes will inherit all this, and I will be his God and he will be my son. :8 But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars— their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.” (NIV)
Psalms 1:1 ¶ Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers.
2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night.
Beware of the deceivers for they teach the doctrine of Satan, for they would certainly deceive you and cause you to lose eternal life. The disciples of Satan do not want you to be saved, so they teach by taking scripture out of context only to deceive you. Beware of the deceivers who teach, “The work of immersion does not save anyone.”
Do not deceive yourself and get immersed for the wrong and worthless reason. Take the safe course and do it according to what is written in scripture.
If you really do intend to please God in immersion, then become militantly strict and determine in your heart that your Immersion will be a scriptural Immersion that is sure to please only God.
Ask the one who is immersing you, am I being immersed to;
1) to justify or make sin-less by the resurrection of Jesus (Rom. 4:25; 6:1-7 ) to give new spiritual birth or to beget or father my spirit again to eternal life (1Pet. 1:3 3:21) and put my spirit into the resurrection of my salvation and comforts of Lord Jesus Christ,
2) to be passed over from my bondage to sin or saved from my sins and put into the power of the resurrection moment of Jesus,
3) to be spiritually given new birth, to be begotten or father my spirit again or to join my spirit to Jesus into the power of his resurrection?
4) and God will add my spirit to the kingdom or body of Christ (Acts 2:48).
Sometimes there is a need to be re-immersed. Some begin to say; “I was immersed but at the time I was immersed I was not sure I understood what the purpose of my Immersion was.”
Here is a scriptural record of a people who were immersed for different reasons than that what God requires for salvation from sin. These were commanded to be re-immersed for the right reason (see Acts 19:1-5).
2 Peter 1:10 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall: Friend, it is past time for you to make your calling an election sure. The salvation of your spirit is too valuable to take chances in being deceived or in ignorance or through misunderstanding. If you are not certain of your Immersion, then by all means right this minute get up and make certain by being immersed in the correct manner, so you will know for certain that you have been immersed correctly. Then if, your first Immersion was a good Immersion then in your second Immersion, you will have only gotten wet but at the same time your Immersion will give you peace of mind that you have done what God commands.
Find a Bible that correctly translates, all the important perquisites necessary to salvation and use only that Bible for your Bible studies. .
God bless you in your obedience to the command of God, to be immersed in water for the true purpose in order for God to give you the remission of your sins. Through obedience in the correct Immersion and in overcoming, God promises He will resurrect or Father our sinful and dead spirits again unto eternal life with Him
In the love of God, the truth and the brotherhood.
