NOT for Salvation for Salvation is not by our Good Works nor by our Righteous Deeds, it is by Faith in Christ Jesus alone. NOT for Becoming a Christian for one becomes a Christian by receiving Jesus Christ into ones heart. NOT through Sprinkling nor Pouring for the meaning of Baptism is to plunge under or to immerse, therefore by immersion. NOT for Unbelievers for only Believers and Followers are called to be baptized in the New Testament. BUT should be done in obedience after Salvation for this is the dramatization of what happened to you in Christ Jesus when you receive Him you were buried and raised up with Him. BUT should be your public witness to the world being a Christian for this is what the Christian Church did in the beginning. BUT for people who have been taught, repented and believed in the Lord Jesus Christ.
