"Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God." (John 3: 5).
"He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved." (Mark 16: 16).
Christ's disciples also taught the same. When those who believed Peter's preaching on the day of Pentecost asked what they should do to be saved, he replied,
"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." (Acts 2: 38).
These passages of scripture prove that Jesus and His disciples taught baptism.
THE HOLY SPIRIT.
The last passage quoted shows that the gift of the Holy Ghost was to be given to those who obeyed the principles of faith, repentance and baptism.
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
The teachings of the Savior show that it is necessary to observe the ten commandments given through Moses. Upon one occasion a man asked what good thing he should do to gain eternal life. Jesus replied, "Keep the commandments," and then named some of them. (Matthew 19: 17, 18).
