These are some of the lessons learnt from the mass indoctrination day 1 on the 6th of September 2021 in Zoom.
We learnt that Christ is the head of the church as man is the head of the woman, therefore as a man loves and cares for his wife so does Christ love and care for us, so much that He died to save us. We are the body of Christ just like a woman supports her husband so also we have an obligation in the Kingdom of God. Another key note here is that the church is called church of God not named after any other person, this is vital because it bears the name of who created it, so it is essential to know that we are all one body and collective we are the church of God.
We should be watchful of the places we visit and where we worship because it has a huge impact on our personal life, most preachers and teachers derail from the truth just to gain more followers. We should always examine the place for us to be sure the leader is not misleading us. We should worship in the true church of God.
The next thing is Baptism. As children of God, we have been instructed by God to be baptized.
Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Jesus Christ came to the earth to lay and example for us, He was also baptized and this shows that it is important and essential in our salvation. Before Christ started His ministry He became baptized by John the baptist.
Matthew 3:16-17 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:
17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
Baptism is done by water immersion and not water sprinkling, the immersion in water signifies partaking in the death and resurrection of Our Lord Jesus and being part of His body.
Romans 6:3-4 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
Baptism must be the in the house of God and by a servant of God and also must acknowledge the divine trinity by conducting baptism in the name of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.
We can see this in the book of
Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
The moment we get baptized we become dead to sin and we can commune effortlessly with God our creator who doesn’t dwell in sin. Baptism is very important in the church of God, before anyone becomes a member of any church he needs to be baptized by a qualified prophet or pastor and not just anybody.
