Kingdom Gospel commands water baptism as an outward sign of salvation: Mark 1:4-5, 16:16, Luke 3:3, 6:29-30, Matthew 3:1-15, Acts 2:38, 1 Pet. 3:21.
Kingdom Gospel ministers were sent to water baptize (by Christ) with the gospel: John 1:31-33, Mark 16:16, Matthew 28:19-20.
Water baptism was a work of righteousness meet for repentance under the Kingdom Gospel: Matthew 3:1-15, Luke 3:3-9, Acts 10:35.
Water baptism prepared the way for the Lord's Coming to Israel under the Gospel of the Kingdom: Luke 3:3-4, Matthew 28:19-20, Mark 1:3-4, Matthew 3:3-6.
Water baptism manifested Christ to Israel under the Kingdom Gospel: John 1:31
Kingdom Gospel demands three different baptisms:
- with Water (Mark 1:4-5, 16:16, Luke 3:3, 6:29-30, Matthew 3:1-15, 28:19-20, Acts 2:38, 1 Pet. 3:21, Heb. 6:2, 10:22)
- with the Holy Ghost (Ezek. 11:19, 36:26-27, 37:14, 39:29, Joel 2:28-29, Matt. 3:11, Mark 1:8, Luke 3:16, John 1:33, Acts 1:5, 1:8, 2:33)
- Baptism of suffering/death (Matt. 20:22-23, Mark 10:38-39, Luke 12:50, Matt. 10:33-39, 16:24-26, 24:8-14, Mark 8:34-36, 13:12-13, Luke 9:24-25, 17:33, Luke 21:12-19)
Grace Gospel commands no outward ceremonies symbolic of salvation: Colosians 2:8-23, Ephesians 2:8-22, Galatians 5:1-11, 6:12-15, Philippians 3:1-9.
Grace Gospel ministers are sent not to baptize but to preach the gospel: 1 Corinthians 1:14-21.
Water baptism is not a work meet for repentance under Grace: Acts 26:17-10, 1 Corinthians 1:14-17.
Water baptism has nothing to do with the Lord's coming for the Church which is His Body, only the preaching and believing of the Gospel: 1 Corinthians 1:14-17, 1 Thessalonians 4:14, Romans 15:15-16, Titus 2:11-13, Galatians 1:4.
Water baptism has no connection to Christ under the Grace Gospel: 1 Corinthians 1:17
