It is written:

“He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved”
(Mark 16:16).

“Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit,
he cannot enter into the kingdom of God” (John 3:5).

“Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the
name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins . . .”
(Acts 2:38).

“And he commanded them to be baptized in the
name of the Lord” (Acts 10:48).

“And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized,
and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of
the Lord” (Acts 22:16).

“Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized
into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Therefore
we are buried with him by baptism into death”
(Romans 6:3-4).

“But ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye
are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the
Spirit of our God” (I Corinthians 6:11).

“For as many of you as have been baptized into
Christ have put on Christ” (Galatians 3:27).

“In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision
made without hands, in putting off the body of
the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:
buried with him in baptism . . .” (Colossians 2:11-12).

“The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also
now save us” (I Peter 3:20-21).

Now, let me ask you a question.

Is baptism a command of Scripture? Yes or no?
