“So Paul asked, ‘Then what baptism did you receive?’ ‘John’s baptism,’ they replied.’’(Acts 19.1–7) Why would Paul bother to ask about their baptism if it was of no importance? After explaining to the Ephesians why John’s baptism was inadequate, they were re-baptized. The fact that they had been previously immersed was of no benefit when done for the wrong reason.”

“Notice that the Christian is one who has died with Christ, not for Christ, or in Christ, or because of Christ, but with Christ. The believer must die with Christ, because that is the only way the judicial price for sin can be paid. The entire purpose of Christ coming to earth to be the lamb of God was so that believers could die with Him, have their sins removed, and be reconciled to a holy God.”

“Without the belief in the resurrection the Christian faith could not have come into being. The disciples would have remained crushed and defeated men. Even had they continued to remember Jesus as their beloved teacher, His crucifixion would have forever silenced any hopes of His being the Messiah. The cross would have remained the sad and shameful end of His career. The origin of Christianity therefore hinges on the belief of the early disciples that God had raised Jesus from the dead. 3”
