Revelation 14:6-14; 18:1-4 ; Joel 2:28 ; Hosea 10:12

Is it your purpose to walk in the footsteps of Yahushua? John 13:10-17 ; 1 Corinthians 11:23-33 ; 1 John 2:6
23. Do you believe that conversion is the new birth experience, and that unless you are born of water (the baptism of repentance; forgiveness; justification) and the Spirit (the baptism of obedience; continual cleansing; sanctification) you cannot enter Into the Kingdom of Yahuwah? John 3:3-5 ; 1 Peter 1:22-23
24. Do you believe in baptism by immersion, and is it your desire to manifest faith and acceptance in the saving grace of our Master, Yahushua, by public baptism in the name of Yahushua as has been the pure custom in the early church (see Acts 2:37 ; Acts 8:12 ; Acts 10:48 ;& Acts 19:5 ). As evidence of this decision, do you resolve to accept and live by the historic beliefs of the pioneers of the Seventh-Day Adventist church, which are posted at the Our Beliefs section of the World's Last Chance website, and unite with the church of the first born believers of Hebrews 12:18-24 and sever all links, connections and membership with all of today's churches which are fallen in His eyes for having mixed truth with error? Matthew 3:6-17; 28:18-20 ; Colossians 2:12 ; Romans 6:3-5 . END.
25. Do you pledge to restore and uphold the true and non-pagan names of the Father [Yahuwah] and the Son [Yahushau], confessing that there is power in the original names (Proverbs 18:10;Acts 4:12), and acknowledging Satan's success in hiding the original names (Jeremiah 23:27) to deny His people the divine power and blessings that comes from uttering and meditating on the true names? Do acknowledge the prophecy of Hosea 2:17 that in the last days Yahuwah has promised to 'take away the names of Baalim out of her mouth, and they shall no more be remembered by their name'? Do you acknowledge that is most offensive to our Father and our Savriour to address them by pagan names and titles, and that many followers of Yahushua gave up their lives for publicly upholding the true names of the Father and Son? Psalms 83:18; Isaiah 42:8; Deuteronomy 32:3; Acts 4:17, 18.

seeking for baptism? Written by ADELABU Lawrence, March 04, 2010

The Father, Son and the Holy Spirit Written by Gen Donaldson, February 01, 2010
I honestly believe that God gave no prerequisites to baptism in the bible other than to believe in Jesus as Lord and Christ - (faith). I think if someone's heart is called to be baptized, then a laundry list of "requirements" should not be a "condition" them from wanting to be with the Lord in this manner. The Lord calls who He calls. And the heart responds. Faith precedes works. The Holy spirit is the worker.
 Acts 2:36-40 "Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ." When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, "Brothers, what shall we do?" Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off—for all whom the Lord our God will call." With many other words he warned them; and he pleaded with them, "Save yourselves from this corrupt generation." 41Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day.

Guiding Principles for the Examination of Baptismal Candidates Written by Cynethia Moses, January 27, 2010
I do think that given new God inspired biblical truths about the Sabbath, some of these articles especially #s 12&13 needs to be revised,and please remember that many people who will accept and come to know Christ, does not know of or want to know of the Adventist church, and were never a member or will never be a member.I for one know it is one of the fallen churches and do not want to have anything to do with it;remember Yahuwah's call to "Come out of her my people" we must come all the way out; and not hold on to her helm or any part of her,thus the reason for the call, and home churches. The Adventists might have started out in the light, but you know what?they dropped the ball ,so did many other denominations, this shows we must keep our eyes on Yahuwah through his son Yahuwahshua/Christ and no one else or we too may be left behind.God's word the Bible is enough to show us the way, especially to win new converts

philip and the ethiopian eunuch Written by keith houldsworth, January 21, 2010
Did not Philip baptise the Ethiopian, out in the middle of "nowhere" in a body of water,after he was reading the book of Isaiah,in his chariot and asked Philip to explain what it ment? There was only Philip and the Ethiopian at that baptism ACTS 8.The Ethiopian obviously (according to scripture) was told the GOOD NEWS about Jesus Yeshuah, and believed and got baptised by Philip.

Principle 12 Written by Simon Nantamu, January 18, 2010
Given new information that the current gregorian callendation is a violation of God's true callendation which follows the movement of the moon, I think there is need to revise principle 12 which mentions the sabbath as starting on friday evening, isnt it so?

Number 21 above. Written by Christopher M, December 03, 2009
The SDA church doesn't even require that you believe number 21 above, only that you believe that the remenant church will have the spirit of prophecy. With all the plagerism involved, believing that Ellen G. White was an inspired prophet is difficult.

Guidelines Written by Justin Zetzer, July 08, 2009
A person does not have to understand all of this in order to be baptized. We are commanded to be baptized after receiving God's spirit. Not after studying every one of these doctrines. These doctrines are definitely very important to study, but not necessary to be baptized.

Natalie K-Item #23- This is a glaring example of preaching a false gospel Written by Lee Gilbert, April 18, 2009
In the gospel according to John, when Jesus is talking to Nicodemus; 3:3-5 which you refer to in item #23: If you include verse 6, it explains verse 5 a little more clearly. vs 5 "Jesus answered 'Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.
vs 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is Spirit.'" In vs 5, being born of water is the natural birth, by and from the mother's womb. Any mother can speak of the experience of her "water breaking" signaling it is time for birth. To be born of the Spirit is to be born of God. John 1:12,13 vs 12; "'But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name; vs 13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor the will of man, but of God.'"

Results of Baptism Written by Lee Gilbert, April 17, 2009
Matthew 3:11 "As for me,I baptize you with water for repentance,
but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, and I am not fit to remove His sandals;He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. {New American Standard Bible} We are baptized with water to show repentance of our sins, an act of obedience. Jesus baptizes us "with the Holy Spirit and fire" by which we are sealed for God. The Holy Spirit is our seal of redemption. Eph 1:13,14 "In Him, you also, after listening to the message of the truth, the gospel of your salvation-having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise, 14 who is given as a pledge of our inheritance, with a view to the redemption of God's own possesion, to the praise of His glory."

standard baptism Written by Natalie K, April 04, 2009
Basically, the standard baptism is by immersion. This is symbolic of burying our sins, and then rising up again clean from our sins.
