Baptism Sunday
Foundations – Part 2
October 27, 2024

Discussion Questions:
1. This Sunday was Baptism Sunday. What an amazing display of what God is doing in peoples lives at The Bayou! Who in this group has been baptized by immersion? Was it an easy or difficult decision and why?

2. What would you say are some of the most common reasons why people choose NOT to be baptized?   
  • I was baptized as an infant. 
  • I’m too nervous to get up in front of people. 
  • I’m waiting for someone else. 
  • I’m not a good enough Christian to be baptized. 
  • I became a Christian a long time ago and now I’m embarrassed to be baptized. 
3. What are some of the reasons why the Bible says we should be baptized? 
(some Scriptures available below)
  • Because you have already put your faith in Jesus.
  • To follow the example that Jesus modeled for us. 
  • To be obedient to the command that Jesus gave us. 
  • To tell the world that you are His. 
4. Is there anyone in the group today that has NOT accepted Christ as Savior or been baptized and would like to discuss any tension you may have? Small Group is the safest place to have conversations and scripture is NEVER meant to bring condemnation, only an invitation into a relationship with Jesus. 

Scriptures to read and discuss if time allows: 

  • Romans 5:6-8 (salvation)
  • Romans 10:9-10 (salvation)
  • Matthew 28:18-20 (baptism)
  • Acts 2:38-41 (baptism)
  • Galatians 3:27 (baptism)
