In our study yesterday the same thing took place with Philip and the Ethiopian Eunuch showing us that baptism is very important to in our road to salvation through Jesus Christ. Baptism is the ceremony in which a Christian is immersed in water before the church to publically symbolize their belief in Christ. The water is a symbol of sin being washed away.

John Gill said, "And this also may suggest to us, that only enlightened persons are the proper objects of this ordinance; such as have the scales of darkness, ignorance, and unbelief removed from them, and have a spiritual sight and sense of divine things: hence the ancients used to call baptism by the name of φωτισμος, "illumination", and baptized persons "enlightened" ones."

It is only through obedience that we can come to know Jesus Christ. By knowing the bible you can know His will, be obedient and never hear the words "depart from me i never knew you" Matthew 7:21-23.
