Matthew 28:19-20 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, 

 baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy 

 Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. 

 Romans 6:3-5 3 Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized 

 into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4 We were buried 

 therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ 

 was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk 

 in newness of life. 5 For if we have been united with him in a death like 

 his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his. 

 Acts 2:37-38 37 Now when they heard this they were cut to the heart, and 

 said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?” 

 38 And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in 

 the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins 

 Ephesians 2:4-10 4 But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great 

 love with which he loved us, 5 even when we were dead in our trespasses, 

 made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved 

 Ephesians 2:19-22 19 So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but 

 you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of 

 God, 20 built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus 

 himself being the cornerstone, 21 in whom the whole structure, being 

 joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord. 22 In him you also 

 are being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit. 

 1Corinthians 6:19-20 19 Or do you not know that your body is a temple of
