Home Work Assignment:

 

Instructions:

1. Write the summarized version of study down (down below) in a blank page of your Bible. Your mentor will show you how to glue onion-skin (tracing) paper in your Bible using white (Elmer’s) glue. You may want to draw lines, using a ruler, on your paper for easy writing. If your Bible does not have empty pages, glue on some of your own blank pages.

 

2. Write the following helpful information after writing points 1 through 18 in your Bible:

    a. Bible baptism is an “immersion” as oppose to a “sprinkling” or a “pouring”:

        1. baptizo – (bap-tid'-zo) to make whelmed (i.e. fully wet); to baptize

            (note: “whelm” means “submerge”).

        2. rhantizo – (hran-tid'-zo) to render besprinkled; sprinkle.

        3. cheo – (kheh'-o) to pour.

    b. Baptism is biblically described as a burial (Romans 6:4; Col. 2:12).

 

3. Build a baptism chain reference by doing the following:

    a)   Go to Acts 2:38 (point #1) in your Bible and write, on the margin next to that verse, the following:

          Bapt: Acts 2:41

    b)   Go to Acts 2:41 (point #2) in your Bible and write, on the margin next to that verse, the following:

          Bapt: Acts 22:16

    c)   Go to Acts 22:16 (point #3) in your Bible and write, on the margin next to that verse, the following:

          Bapt: Heb. 10:22

    d)   Keep on doing this until you get to Col. 2:11-12 (point #18).

    e)   Next to Col. 2:11-12, write, on the margin next to that verse, the following:  Bapt: Acts 2:38

f)        Now you have a scriptural chain reference!

g)       You may want to add the text in each point using a rapidograph on the margin of the Bible, next to the scripture passage.

 

4. Don’t be lazy! This is to your benefit! J

 

Helpful hints:

1. Use a thin writing pen to write with (an ultra razor thin marker or a rapidograph pen would be helpful).

2. Write small so you can write other topical studies in your Bible as you receive them.
