Does God do anything in the act of baptism? If so, what is he up to?
When we ask the question from the human angle — “What are we doing in the act of baptism?” — most Christians would share similar answers. In baptism, we obey the command of the Lord Jesus for new disciples (Matthew 28:19). In baptism, we display outwardly the inward work of faith in our hearts (Colossians 2:11–12). In baptism, we profess allegiance to Jesus and, with him, his people (Acts 2:38–41).

Jesus Predicts His Death a Second Time
49 “Master,” said John, “we saw someone driving out demons in your name and we tried to stop him, because he is not one of us.”
50 “Do not stop him,” Jesus said, “for whoever is not against you is for you.” Lord, the God of your ancestors, promised you. 4 Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.
