This lesson is a study of the Bible doctrine of baptism.
Baptism is for the remission of sins.
Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures. 47 And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. Then Peter said unto them Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Release, as from debt or obligation. Baptism washes away our sins.
