1 Corinthians chapter 12, look at verse number 11,
or excuse me, verse number 12 says,
For as the body is one, and hath many members,
and all the members of that one body,
being many, are one body, so also is Christ.
For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body,
whether we be Jews or Gentiles,
whether we be bond or free,
and have been all made to drink into one Spirit,
for the body is not one member, but many.
So we see that verse 13 says by one Spirit,
we're baptized, we're immersed into one body.
We're placed into the body of Christ
when we believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.
We're immersed into that body.
We're completely placed into the body of Jesus Christ
when we get saved, does that make sense?
Go to 1 Thessalonians chapter number two.
1 Thessalonians chapter number two.
So pretty simple that we understand
that the baptism of repentance,
remember repentance is that first principle
that we went over, repentance from dead works
and faith toward God, the baptism of repentance
is the fact that when you repent and believe the gospel,
you're placed completely in Christ.
Makes pretty simple sense if you think about it.
Baptism of repentance, repentance from dead works,
faith toward God places you in Christ, okay?
Look at 1 Thessalonians 2, 14 says,
for ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God,
which in Judea are in Christ Jesus.
For ye also have suffered like things
of your own countrymen, even as they have of the Jews.
Go to Colossians chapter number two.
I'll read to you from chapter number one
and verse number two where it says,
to the saints and faithful brethren in Christ,
we try a colossi, grace be unto you and peace from God,
our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
