When should Water Baptism be done on a candidate?
Upvote:1
The scriptures never tell us on which occasion the baptism should be performed.
One thing for sure is that Baptism was done immediately after the candidate accepted Jesus Christ.
Some examples:
The first believers on the Pentecost day were Baptized that day itself.
Acts 2:41 (NIV) Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day.
The Ethiopian eunuch took baptism shortly after accepting Jesus Christ. (Acts 8:26-40)
36 As they traveled along the road, they came to some water and the eunuch said, “Look, here is water. What can stand in the way of my being baptized?”
The Jailer and his household took Baptism immediately the same night he accepted Jesus. (Acts 16:16-40)
33 At that hour of the night the jailer took them and washed their wounds; then immediately he and all his household were baptized.
Cornelius the centurion and every one present in his house took baptism right after Peter preached to them. (Acts 10)
44 While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit came on all who heard the message.47 “Surely no one can stand in the way of their being baptized with water. They have received the Holy Spirit just as we have.”
There are more references but I believe this is sufficient.
