Only those who have received the "circumcision of the heart" should be baptized, and that baptism should be by immersion.

The constant pursuit of the Lord is to call us up higher than we have been before. The very heart of God is forward and closer to him and that necessitates that we advance. The things he’s going to call us to are going to be out and away from our comfort and will always result in our leaving something behind. For you to fully become the person God has for you to become then distance needs to be found between you and whatever will hold you back. Should you be found standing in front of the Lord today and you proudly profess the same passion and excitement about your situation, what would he tell you that you still lack?

If we are going to experience Kingdom Hope, Kingdom Love, and Kingdom Joy, the we must break free from the world, and be solely in God's presence. We must be immersed in the Kingdom!

Baptism and Immersion is their a difference?

Romans 6:1-5 – 1 Well then, should we keep on sinning so that God can show us more and more of his wonderful grace? 2 Of course not! Since we have died to sin, how can we continue to live in it? 3 Or have you forgotten that when we were joined with Christ Jesus in baptism, we joined him in his death?…
