BAPTISM - COMMITMENT TO CHRIST

Acts 2: 38-41
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 Spirit. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the LORD, our GOD, shall call." And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, "Save yourselves from this crooked generation." Then they that gladly received his word were baptized; and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.

REPENT, BE BAPTIZED EVERY ONE OF YOU 

If you have not been baptized, go to your clergy and request it. Follow the pattern of Peter: Repent of all your sins to the LORD; be baptized in the Name of JESUS Christ; receive the Holy Spirit. This is the pattern set down by Peter, endorsed by JESUS and sealed by the Holy Spirit. 

Re-read the verses from the Acts of the Apostles, given to us by the anointing of the Holy Spirit, through Luke, who wrote the Gospel. This is the same Luke who knew JESUS and saw the risen LORD, heard His voice and received His commission. Take these next words VERY SERIOUSLY:

SAVE YOURSELVES FROM THIS CROOKED GENERATION; BE BAPTIZED AND FOLLOW JESUS FOR ALL OF YOUR LIFE, AND WITH ALL OF YOU STRENGTH.
