Into what experience are those baptized who are baptized into Christ?
Answer
"Know you not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into His death?" Rom.
6: 3.
Note -Baptism is a gospel ordinance commemorating the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ. In
baptism public testimony is given to the effect that the one baptized has been crucified with Christ, buried
with Him, and is raised with Him to walk in newness of life. Only one mode of baptism can rightly
represent these facts of experience, and that is immersion, the mode followed by Christ and the primitive
church.
