Overview
At least three different baptisms are mentioned in the Bible. Derek Prince covers two of them in this booklet. He answers questions like: what are the requirements for baptism; and what new position or state do we attain, if any?

“Under the Jewish law, circumcision was simply removing a small portion of flesh. But Christian circumcision is putting off the whole sinful, fleshly nature—the whole body.” (Page 28)
“That is why we should be baptized. Not because we have repented of our sins, but because it is the way to complete our righteousness. We already have righteousness imputed to us through our faith in Jesus. Water baptism is the appropriate way to fulfill, or complete, or carry out that righteousness.” (Page 17)
“Justified has a number of different meanings: acquitted, declared not guilty, reckoned righteous, or made righteous.” (Page 17)
“The gospel consists of just three historical facts: Jesus died, He was buried, and He rose again” (Page 20)
“It means ‘to immerse.’ It comes from a root word, bapto, which means ‘to dip.’” (Page 6)
