Baptism is the dividing line between:
1. Sin-guilt and remission of sins under the great commission (Matt. 28:18-20; Mk. 16:15-18; Lk. 24:46-49)
2. The unsaved and the saved (Mk. 16:16; 1 Pet. 3:21)
3. Those whose sins have not been washed away and those whose sins have been washed away (Acts 22:16)
4. Those who are not in Christ and those who are in Christ (Rom. 6:3; Gal. 3:27)
5. Those who are not in the kingdom of God and those who are in the kingdom of God (Jn. 3:5; Col. 1:13)
6. Those who are not in the "one body" ("the church," Eph. 1:22-23) and those who have been "baptized into the one body" (1 Cor. 12:13)
7. Those for whom God does not work all things together for good and those for whom God does work all things together for good (Rom. 8:28)
8. Those who do not have "all spiritual blessings" and those who do have "all spiritual blessings" (Eph. 1:3)
9. Those who do not have "life more abundantly" and those who do have "life more abundantly" (Jn. 10:10)
10. Those who do not have a "never fading inheritance reserved in heaven" and those who do have a "never fading inheritance reserved in heaven" (1 Pet. 1:4)
"Be not foolish, but understanding what is the Lord's will" (Eph. 5:17).
