(NIV) *Use NIV, NAS, and King James Versions to get the most accurate interpretation. Baptism necessary or not? Baptism (Greek: baptizo): immersion (From the Greek expository dictionary)- ?It is used in the NT in Luke 11:38 of washing oneself (as in 2Kings 5:14, ?dipped himself,? Sept.); see also Isa. 21:4, lit., ?lawlessness overwhelms me.? In the early chapters of the four Gospels and in Acts 1:5; 11:16; 19:4, it is used of the rite performed by John the Baptist who called upon the people to repent that they might receive remission of sins. Those who obeyed came ?confessing their sins,? thus acknowledging their unfitness to be in the Messiah?s coming kingdom. Distinct from this is the ?baptism? enjoined by Christ, Matt. 28:19, a ?baptism? to be undergone by believers, thus witnessing to their identification with Him in death, burial, and resurrection (e.g. Acts 19:5; Rom. 6:3-4; 1Cor. 1:13-17, 12:13; Gal. 3:27; Col 2:12). The phrase in Matt. 28:19, ?baptizing them into the Name? (RV; cf. Acts 8:16), would indicate that the ?baptized? person was closely bound to, or became property of, the one in whose name he was ?baptized.? In Acts 22:16 it is used in the middle voice, in the command given to Saul of Tarsus, ?
The word “euthanasia” comes from the Greek words “eu” meaning good or well and “thanatos” meaning death. Euthanasia means to take a deliberate action with the express intent of ending a life in order to relieve intractable suffering. Belgium has passed a law that allows euthanasia for terminally ill children experiencing “constant and unbearable suffering” who can show a “capacity of discernment”. This has sparked many debates about whether child euthanasia is moral and whether it should be legal or not. Although child euthanasia is a way for a child to escape “constant and unbearable” suffering or to avoid suffering through a terminal illness, child euthanasia should not be legal because children do not possess the mental capacity to make a request for such an irreversible decision, a child may choose to die because they fear that they are burdening others, and the requirements in place to request euthanasia may not be sufficient enough to protect against misuse.
Euthanasia is a controversy that cannot be resolved from a single court ruling or a single person’s opinion. Many proposals have been suggested based on various studies and surveys. In “You Say Murder, I Say Euthanasia,” Clair Rayner describes a notable proposal regarding extreme euthanasia cases. The proposal, which has been put into the Science of Museum forum, recommends complex cases to be considered individually. In “Assisted Suicide Largely Shunned,” the anonymous author offers statistics that oppose the ethics of euthanasia.
Baptize (Grk BAPTISO) which means to submerge or Holy Spirit Baptism, to fully wet or immerse. When people talk about Baptism, they are usually referring to Baptism with Water which is mentioned in Scripture. But, there are many places in the Bible where the word Baptism is used in a different way to refer to Baptism of a
Many Christian denominations practice the tradition of baptism. However, many denominations differ widely on the meaning and significance of the sacrament or ordinance of baptism. Baptism in the Old Testament is used as a symbol of a believer’s devotion to God by washing with water as a sign of purification and consecration. There are many different meanings and techniques to baptism that have been observed by many faiths over thousands of years. Many of the customs and b...
These areas will be discussed here in this paper based upon the research I do: I will discussed the meaning of baptism, the purpose and benefits of baptism, was baptism designed for infants or just those who have believed in Christ, and what mode of baptism is biblical. This paper will hopefully present reasoning from both aspects of the questions being asked.
We believe that baptism is a decree of the Lord by which those who have repented and come to faith express their union with Christ in His death and resurrection, by being immersed in water in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. It is a sign of belonging to the new people of God, and an emblem of burial and cleansing, signifying death to the old life of unbelief, and purification from the

Reading the Bible takes time and patience. Understanding the meaning of the stories can make the Bible more interesting to read. The baptism of Jesus is one such story that may seem small, but it has a deeper meaning to it that sheds some light on Jesus’s mission. The baptism of Jesus is recorded or indicated in all four gospels of the New Testament. It was specifically mentioned in Matthew 3:13-17, Mark 1:9-11, Luke 3:21-22, and John 1:24-34. All the gospels give different accounts of how the baptism took place. True to their name, the Synoptic Gospels have stories that are almost similar, but the Gospel of John has its own unique story. Understanding the different accounts of the baptism is crucial to understanding the significance of why Jesus was baptized and by whom.
The passion of the early church was to see Christ formed in new believers. The Apostle Paul wrote, “I am in the pains of childbirth until Christ is formed in you.” (Gal. 4:19) This same desire of the Apostle was retained in the DNA of the church Fathers and resulted in a careful procedure of preparation for baptism that ensured the goal of making a disciple was attained. This serious process that was used to train new believers was referred to as the Catechumenate. It was a sort of school of the Faith during the Patristic era that prepared new believers to be baptized before being welcomed into the full life of the church. The term Catechumen denoted a person who was receiving instruction in Christianity with a view to being in time baptized. The catechumenate consisted of converts from Paganism, Judaism, and even children of Christian parents whose Baptism had been deferred. The word catechumen is derived from the Greek word katēcheō, meaning "to teach" or "instruct." The verb occurs eight times in the New Testament (Luke 1:4; Acts 18:25,21:21, 24; Rom 2:18, 1 Cor. 14:19; Gal 6:6), but never with the technical sense of a formal period of instruction that we find in the post-apostolic period. Clement of Alexandria (150-215) appears to have been the earliest church father to use the noun form of the
The development of branding was created as a vehicle for companies to create and distinguish their products and services at the same time it is a way to set them apart from those of the competitors. A brand also offers consistency and quality in the eyes of the customer thereby setting the stage for a long and prosperous relationship, for example: McDonald’s, Startbucks, KFC etc offer customers the same quality and consistency on their products regardless of the geographical location, qualities that customers have come to expect when they visit any of these establishments (Mccabe and Boyle, 2006).

The subject of water baptism has long been called a great issue and no doubt has been made such by many church leaders of the past and present. In our study of it, let us first consider its importance, or the necessity of being baptized.
“Baptism, a life of honesty, meditation on God, having faith, reciting the name of God, avoiding getting caught up in worldly distractions, and remembering God in every moment possible”.
" A brand is a distinguishing name and/or symbol (such as logo, trademark, or package design) intended to identify the goods or services of either one seller or a group of sellers, and to differentiate those goods or services from those of competitors. A brand thus signals to the customer the source of the product, and protects both the customer and the producer from competitors who would attempt to provide products that appear to be
Designing and creating a brand identity is expensive and time consuming. Brands either delegate the task to their marketing teams or hire consultants who charge by the hour and spend many hours in close consultation with managers before they decide on the brand logotype, color, typography, sound, motion and other key elements of the brand identity design. Trial applications are run before the identity is presented for approval. The approved identity is then trademarked and translated to the company website, business cards, letterheads, packaging and advertising. Each step of the process entails heavy funding and
