Been thinking why baptism is all there as a very important to bible believers of today. And I came out with a very simple reasons as follows:
1.
Identification and Distinction. Like your personal name, business name, company name, AV1611 Forum website are all as important, in the same manner, baptism of today is of very important. This also gave us distinction from others, example FFForum do not believe KJV as the Word of God, here in
AV1611 Forum by Bro Brandon and we have you Bro. George, you Bro. Parrish, BibleProtector,Will Kinney,BroTim,Winman, Bro. Tony,Chette, Luke etal as a staunch defender of this site believing the Word of God(KJV/KJB/AV/KJAV). This makes a real difference from other unchristian forums.
2.
Items Highly Valuable. The seven(7) last sayings of Christ at the cross are of most value. Christ also said that the last shall be the first.
Matthew 19:30 But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first.
So that I've been thinking about how important a last will and testament. Accordingly, "a will is also used as the instrument in a trust. A traditional will is also called a last will and testament, or a testamentary will. It is a legally binding document that defines how the testator would like his property distributed when he dies. It may also define his wishes concerning who becomes guardian over his minor children." (quoted frm:
http://ezinearticles.com/?Last-Will-...ment&id=220011). The similitude, the testator(Christ Heb.9:16),
leave his valuable to his children as guardian. We are to keep and observe it until the end of this world.
Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Matthew 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway,
even unto the end of the world. Amen.
