D. RECEIVE CHRIST IN BAPTISM...
      1. Note first these spiritual truths:
         a. All spiritual blessings are IN Christ - Ep 1:3
         b. Salvation is IN Christ - 2Ti 2:10
         c. There is no condemnation IN Christ - Ro 8:1
         d. Eternal life is IN Christ - 1Jn 5:11
      2. All these blessings are IN Christ
         a. It is one thing to believe IN Jesus, quite another to get
            INTO Jesus
         b. How does one get INTO Jesus?  The same way you get into a
            coat (you put it on)
      3. We get INTO Jesus by putting Him on in baptism - cf. Ga 3:26-27
         a. As many as are baptized into Christ, have put on Christ
         b. Those not yet baptized into Christ, have not yet put on
            Christ
         c. If we have not PUT ON Christ, we are not yet IN Christ
      4. What is baptism?
         a. An immersion (burial) of the believer in water - Ac 8:35-38
         b. Administered to the penitent for the remission of sins - Ac
            2:38
         c. In which we are:
            1) Baptized into the death of Jesus - Ro 6:3
            2) Buried with Him into His death - Ro 6:4a
            3) Raised with Him that we might walk in newness of life
               - Ro 6:4b
         d. A working of God in cooperation with our faith - Col 2:11-13
            1) In which our sins our cut away (circumcised)
            2) In which we are made alive, forgiven of all sins
      -- Not a work of righteousness done to earn salvation, but an act
         of faith submitted to in order to receive God's grace and mercy
         - cf. Tit 3:5-7
