Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you. He must believe God's word . He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved. He must stop sinning . The old life must be changed.
Sin is buried in baptism.
The converted man starts a new life with Christ after baptism. We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we may live a new life. If we have been united with him in his death, we will certainly also be united with him in his resurrection. For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body of sin might be rendered powerless, that we should no longer be slaves to sin. The symbol of baptism is full of precious truth.
