Baptism into Christ (Salvation)

• ²⁷ for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. ~ Galatians 3:27 NIV
• ²⁰ I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. ~ Galatians 2:20 ESV
• Who baptizes: The Holy Spirit
• What into: Jesus Christ / Salvation
• Description: This is the born-again moment—when a person places faith in Christ, the Spirit unites them with Jesus in His death and resurrection

Baptism into the Body of Christ

• ⁴ There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call— ⁵ one Lord, one faith, one baptism, ⁶ one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. ~ Ephesians 4:4-6 ESV
• Who baptizes: The Holy Spirit
• What into: The Church / the Body of Christ

Baptism in the Holy Spirit (Empowerment)

• ¹¹ “I baptize you with water for repentance, but he who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. ~ Matthew 3:11 ESV
• ²² And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. ~ John 20:22 ESV
• Who baptizes: Jesus
• What into: The Holy Spirit

Reaffirmation (Public Rededication / Re-Baptism)

• ⁴ Paul said, “John’s baptism was a baptism of repentance. He told the people to believe in the one coming after him, that is, in Jesus.” ⁵ On hearing this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. ~ Acts 19:4-5 NIV
• ⁴ Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken the love you had at first. ~ Revelation 2:4 NIV
• Who baptizes: Church leaders (or other believers)
• What into: Renewed commitment to Christ
• Description: A personal decision to publicly reaffirm faith, often after a season of spiritual re-engagement, renewal, awakening, or deeper understanding. Not required for salvation, but a powerful act of worship and testimony.
