Why Is Baptism Necessary Now But Not Then?--June 2026 Gospel Meeting

The final lesson of this gospel meeting deals with Jesus and His role in salvation. If you have ever wondered about the necessity of baptism for salvation, this lesson will give clear Scriptural examples and commands. Jarrod Jacobs, speaking at our June 2026 gospel meeting (Friday night service) at the Walton Chapel church of Christ in Lafayette, asks the question ‘Why did Jesus save some people, including the ‘thief on the cross’, without baptism but now it is necessary? Jarrod, using clear charts of 9 conversions in Acts requiring water baptism and a chart of 4 people in Mark, Matthew, and Luke showing that people were saved without baptism, gives a clear answer: Those people in Acts along with us are after the cross (Hebrews 9:15-17, 2 Corinthians 3:14, Hebrews 10:9-10).
