The Gospel message is clear: we are to “repent and be baptized.” Many Christians, however, remain indecisive about a public profession of faith. In this message, Alistair Begg reminds us that baptism is an outward sign of our commitment to Christ and calls us to take Jesus’ invitation seriously. The baptism of believers should edify and encourage the local church as we witness the Lord’s transformative work in the lives of His people.
11So, setting sail from Troas, we nmade a direct voyage to Samothrace, and the following day to Neapolis, 12and from there to oPhilippi, which is a leading city of the4 district of Macedonia and pa Roman colony. We remained in this city some days. 13And qon the Sabbath day we went outside the gate rto the riverside, where we supposed there was a place of prayer, and we ssat down and spoke to the women who had come together. 14One who heard us was a woman named Lydia, from the city of Thyatira, a seller of purple goods, twho was a worshiper of God. The Lord uopened her heart to pay attention to what was said by Paul. 15And after she was baptized, vand her household as well, she urged us, saying, “If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come to my house and stay.” And she wprevailed upon us.
