Fellowship and Baptism

Act 2:41 Then those who gladly received his word were baptized. And

the same day there were added about three thousand souls.

Act 2:42 And they were continuing steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine, and in fellowship and in the breaking

of the loaves, and in prayers.

Fellowship = Partnership (Greek)

Act 2:44 And all who believed were together and had all things common.

Act 2:45 And they sold their possessions and goods and distributed them to all, according as

anyone had need. Act 2:46 And continuing with one accord in the

temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they shared food with gladness and

simplicity of heart, Act 2:47 praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church

daily those who were being saved.

Heb 10:23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering (for He is

faithful who promised), Heb 10:24 and let us consider one

another to provoke to love and to good works,

Heb 10:25 not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day

approaching.

1Co 1:9 God is faithful, by whom you

were called to the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

Rom 12:4 For even as we have many members in one body, and

all the members have not the same office:

Rom 12:5 so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and severally members one of

another.

1Co 12:12 For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the

members of the body, being many, are one body; so also is Christ.

1Co 12:13 For in one Spirit were we all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free; and were

all made to drink of one Spirit. 1Co 12:14 For the body is not one

member, but many.

1Co 12:27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and severally members thereof.

1Co 12:28 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, divers kinds of tongues. 1Co 12:29 Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles? 1Co 12:30 have all gifts of healings? do all

speak with tongues? do all interpret? 1Co 12:31 But desire earnestly the greater

gifts. And a still more excellent way shew I unto

you.

1Co 13:1 If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I

am become sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal.

1Co 13:2 And if I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I

am nothing.

2Co 6:14 Be not unequally yoked with unbelievers: for what fellowship have righteousness

and iniquity? or what communion hath light with darkness?

Jas 4:4 Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know

that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? Therefore

whoever desires to be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.

Amo 3:3 Can two walk together unless

they are agreed?

Eph 5:11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful

works of darkness, but rather reprove them.

Gal 2:9 and knowing the grace given to me, James, and Cephas,

and John, who seemed to be pillars, gave right hands of

fellowship to Barnabas and me, that we go to the nations, but

they to the circumcision.

1Jn 1:6 If we say that we have fellowship with Him and walk in darkness, we lie and

do not practice the truth. 1Jn 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His

Son cleanses us from all sin. 1Jn 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in

us.

Rev 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be

not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.

Dis - fellowship

1Ti 1:19 Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some

having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck:

1Ti 1:20 Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have

delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.

2Ti 2:16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto

more ungodliness. 2Ti 2:17 And their word will eat as

doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;

2Ti 2:18 Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the

resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.

1Co 5:1 It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the

Gentiles, that one should have his father's wife. 1Co 5:2 And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that

he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you. 1Co 5:3 For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have

judged already, as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done this deed,

1Co 5:4 In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus

Christ, 1Co 5:5 To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of

the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. 1Co 5:6 Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven

leaveneth the whole lump? 1Co 5:7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new

lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is

sacrificed for us:

1Jn 4:3 and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus

Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the

antichrist you heard is coming, and even now is already in the

world.

2Jn 1:7 For many deceivers have entered into the world, who do not confess Jesus Christ coming in the

flesh. This is the deceiver and the anti-christ. 2Jn 1:8 Look to yourselves, so that we may not lose those things which we worked out, but that we may

receive a full reward. 2Jn 1:9 Everyone transgressing and not abiding in the doctrine of Christ does not have God. He who abides in the doctrine of Christ, he has both the Father and the

Son. 2Jn 1:10 If anyone comes to you and does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him into your house, nor

speak a greeting to him. 2Jn 1:11 For he who speaks a greeting to him is

partaker of his evil deeds.

Jesus’ model

Mat 14:26 And when the disciples saw Him walking

on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a

phantom! And they cried out for fear.

Mar 9:31 For He taught His disciples and said to them, The Son of Man is delivered into the

hands of men, and they shall kill him. And after He is killed, He shall rise the third day.

Mar 9:32 But they did not understand that saying and were afraid to ask Him.

Mar 9:33 And He came to Capernaum. And being in the house, He asked them, What was it

that you disputed among yourselves in the way?

Mar 9:34 But they were silent. For in the way they had disputed among themselves who was

the greatest.

Luk 22:15 And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer:

Luk 22:16 for I say unto you, I will not eat it, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.

Luk 22:17 And he received a cup, and when he had given thanks, he said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves:

Luk 22:18 for I say unto you, I will not drink from henceforth of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.

Luk 22:19 And he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he brake it, and gave to them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in

remembrance of me. Luk 22:20 And the cup in like manner after supper, saying, This cup is the

new covenant in my blood, even that which is poured out for you. Luk 22:21 But behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the

table. Luk 22:22 For the Son of man indeed goeth, as it hath been determined:

but woe unto that man through whom he is betrayed! Luk 22:23 And they began to question among themselves, which of them it

was that should do this thing. Luk 22:24 And there arose also a contention among them, which of them

is accounted to be greatest.

Joh 12:4 But Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples, which should betray

him, saith, Joh 12:5 Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and

given to the poor? Joh 12:6 Now this he said, not

because he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and having

the bag took away what was put therein.

Mat 18:15 And if thy brother sin against thee, go, shew him his fault between thee and him alone: if he hear thee, thou hast gained thy

brother. Mat 18:16 But if he hear thee not, take with

thee one or two more, that at the mouth of two witnesses or three every word may be

established. Mat 18:17 And if he refuse to hear them, tell it unto the church: and if he refuse to hear the

church also, let him be unto thee as the Gentile

and the publican.

Context of Matt 18 is about restoration and reconciliation.

Mat 18:21 Then came Peter, and said to him, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? until seven times?

Mat 18:22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times; but, Until seventy times seven.

Mat 18:23 Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would make a reckoning with his servants.

Mat 18:24 And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents.

Mat 18:25 But forasmuch as he had not wherewith to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had,

and payment to be made. Mat 18:26 The servant therefore fell down and worshipped him, saying,

Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all. Mat 18:27 And the lord of that servant, being moved with compassion,

released him, and forgave him the debt.

1Co 11:28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread

and drink of that cup. 1Co 11:29 For he who eats and drinks

unworthily eats and drinks condemnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.

1Co 11:30 For this cause many among you are weak and sickly, and many sleep.

1Co 11:31 For if we would judge

ourselves, we would not be judged.

Mat 5:7 Blessed are the merciful! For they shall obtain mercy.

Mat 7:1 Judge not, that you may not be judged.

Mat 7:2 For with whatever judgment you judge, you shall be judged; and with

whatever measure you measure out, it shall be measured to you again.

Mat 7:3 And why do you look on the splinter that is in your brother's eye, but do not consider the beam that is in your

own eye?

Luk 23:34 And Jesus said, Father, forgive them; for

they know not what they do. And parting his garments

among them, they cast lots.

Rom 14:1 But him that is weak in faith receive ye, yet not to doubtful disputations.

Rom 14:2 One man hath faith to eat all things: but he that is weak eateth herbs.

Rom 14:3 Let not him that eateth set at nought him that eateth not; and let not him that eateth

not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him.

Rom 14:4 Who art thou that judgest the servant of another? to his own lord he standeth or

falleth. Yea, he shall be made to stand; for the Lord hath power to make him stand.

Rom 14:5 One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let each man be

fully assured in his own mind. Rom 14:6 He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord: and he that eateth, eateth unto the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, unto the

Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks. Rom 14:7 For none of us liveth to himself, and none

dieth to himself. Rom 14:8 For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; or whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live

therefore, or die, we are the Lord’s.

1Co 10:16 The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a partaking of the blood of Christ? The bread

which we break, is it not a partaking of the body of Christ?

1Co 10:17 Because we, the many, are one bread, one body,

for we all partake of the one bread.

Mar 16:15 And He said to them, Go into all the world, proclaim the

gospel to all the creation. Mar 16:16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved, but he

who does not believe will be condemned.

Baptism is not a choice but a command for

believers.

Joh 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the

kingdom of God.

Heb 6:1 Wherefore let us cease to speak of the first principles of Christ,

and press on unto perfection; not laying again a foundation of

repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,

Heb 6:2 of the teaching of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of

eternal judgment.

Baptism = (Greek) to make

fully wet / immersed.

Act 2:38 And Peter said unto them, Repent ye, and be

baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ unto the remission of your sins; and ye

shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

Mat 3:14 But John restrained Him, saying, I have need to be baptized by You, and do You

come to me? Mat 3:15 And answering Jesus said to him, Allow it now, for it is

becoming to us to fulfill all righteousness. Then he allowed

Him.

Act 8:12 But when they believed Philip preaching good tidings

concerning the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men

and women.

Act 8:35 Then Philip opened his mouth and began at the same Scripture and preached the gospel of Jesus to him.

Act 8:36 And as they passed along the way, they came on some water. And the eunuch said, See, here is water, what

hinders me from being baptized? Act 8:37 Philip said, If you believe with all your heart, it is lawful. And he answered

and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the

Son of God.

Act 10:44 While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all those hearing the Word.

Act 10:45 And those of the circumcision, who believed (as many as came with Peter), were astonished

because the gift of the Holy Spirit was poured out on the nations also.

Act 10:46 For they heard them speak with tongues and magnify God. Then Peter answered,

Act 10:47 Can anyone forbid water that these, who have received the Holy Ghost as well as we, should not

be baptized? Act 10:48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then they begged him to stay

certain days.

Act 9:17 And Ananias went and entered into the house. And putting his hands on

him, he said, Brother Saul, the Lord, Jesus, who appeared to you in the way in which you came, has sent me to you that you might see and be filled with the Holy

Spirit. Act 9:18 And instantly scales as it were fell from his eyes, and he instantly saw

again. And rising up, he was baptized.

Act 22:12 And one Ananias, a devout man according to the Law, testified to by all the Jews who lived there, Act 22:13 coming to me and standing by, said to me,

Brother Saul, look up! And the same hour I looked up on him.

Act 22:14 And he said, The God of our fathers has chosen you to know His will and to see the Just One,

and to hear a voice out of His mouth. Act 22:15 For you shall be His witness to all men of

what you have seen and heard. Act 22:16 And now what do you intend? Arise and be baptized and wash away your sins, calling on the name

of the Lord.

Act 16:14 And a certain woman named Lydia heard us, a seller of purple of the city of Thyatira, who worshiped God;

whose heart the Lord opened, so that she attended to the things which were spoken

by Paul. Act 16:15 And when she was baptized, she and her household, she begged us,

saying, If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house

and stay. And she constrained us.

Act 16:31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus, and thou shalt be

saved, thou and thy house. Act 16:32 And they spake the word

of the Lord unto him, with all that were in his house.

Act 16:33 And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he

and all his, immediately.

Act 18:7 And he departed from there and entered into the house of one

named Justus, one worshiping God, whose house was next to the

synagogue. Act 18:8 And Crispus, the chief ruler

of the synagogue, believed on the Lord with all his house. And hearing

this, many of the Corinthians believed and were baptized.

Re Baptism

Act 19:1 And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper country

came to Ephesus, and found certain disciples: Act 19:2 and he said unto them, Did ye receive the

Holy Ghost when ye believed? And they said unto him, Nay, we did not so much as hear whether the Holy

Ghost was given. Act 19:3 And he said, Into what then were ye baptized?

And they said, Into John’s baptism. Act 19:4 And Paul said, John baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on

Jesus. Act 19:5 And when they heard this, they were baptized

into the name of the Lord Jesus.

Baptism is not to confirm what be believe, but

goes hand in hand with repentance.

It is a dying to self.

Preaching, repentance and baptism should

follow each other without delay.

Rom 6:1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin so that grace may abound?

Rom 6:2 Let it not be! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it?

Rom 6:3 Do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into His death?

Rom 6:4 Therefore we were buried with Him by baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of

the Father; even so we also should walk in newness of life. Rom 6:5 For if we have been joined together in the likeness of His

death, we shall also be in the likeness of His resurrection; Rom 6:6 knowing this, that our old man is crucified with Him in

order that the body of sin might be destroyed, that from now on we

should not serve sin.

Gal 3:27 For as many as were

baptized into Christ, you put on Christ.

Mat 11:28 Come to Me all you who labor and are heavy laden,

and I will give you rest. Mat 11:29 Take My yoke on you and learn of Me, for I am meek

and lowly in heart, and you shall find rest to your souls.

Luk 23:42 And he said, Jesus, remember me when thou comest

in thy kingdom. Luk 23:43 And he said unto him, Verily I say unto thee Today, you

shall be with me in Paradise.

1Co 15:29 Else what shall they do which are baptized for the

dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why then are they baptized

for them?

Heb 9:27 And inasmuch as it is appointed unto men once to die, and after this cometh judgment;

Psa 49:7 None can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him,
