God's Story: Baptism - 4 minutes
Crossroads Kid's Club
"Now an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, “Arise and go toward the south along the road which goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.”
This is desert. So he arose and went. And behold, a man of Ethiopia,
a eunuch of great authority under Candace the queen of the Ethiopians,
who had charge of all her treasury, and had come to Jerusalem to worship, was returning.
And sitting in his chariot, he was reading Isaiah the prophet.
Then the Spirit said to Philip, “Go near and overtake this chariot.”
So Philip ran to him, and heard him reading the prophet Isaiah, and said,
“Do you understand what you are reading?”
"And he said, “How can I, unless someone guides me?” And he asked Philip to
come up and sit with him. The place in the Scripture which he read was this:
“He was led as a sheep to the slaughter;
And as a lamb before its shearer is silent,
So He opened not His mouth.
In His humiliation His justice was taken away,
And who will declare His generation?
For His life is taken from the earth.”
So the eunuch answered Philip and said, “I ask you, of whom does the prophet say this,
of himself or of some other man?” Then Philip opened his mouth,
and beginning at this Scripture, preached Jesus to him.
Now as they went down the road, they came to some water.
And the eunuch said, “See, here is water. What hinders me from being baptized?”
Then Philip said, “If you believe with all your heart, you may.”
And he answered and said, “I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.”
Acts 8:26-37

"Or do you not know that as many of usas were baptized
into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death?
Therefore we were buried with Himthrough baptism into death,
that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory
of the Father, even so we also should
walk in newness of life." Romans 6:3-4

"Then Paul said, “John indeed baptized
with a baptism of repentance,
saying to the people that they should believe on Him who would come after him,
that is, on Christ Jesus.”
When they heard this, they were baptized
in the name of the Lord Jesus."
Acts 19:4-5

4) Holy Spirit and Water Baptism
"And those of the circumcision who believed were astonished,
as many as came with Peter,
because the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out on the Gentiles also.
For they heard them speak
with tongues and magnify God.
Then Peter answered, “Can anyone forbid water, that these should not be baptized who have received
the Holy Spirit just as we have?”
And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord."
Acts 10:45-47

"...who formerly were disobedient,
when once the Divine longsuffering
waited in the days of Noah,
while the ark was being prepared,
in which a few, that is, eight souls,
were saved through water.
​
There is also an antitype which
now saves us—baptism
(not the removal of the filth of the flesh,
but the answer of a good conscience toward God), through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God,
angels and authorities and powers having been made subject to Him." 1 Peter 3:20-22
