Is it the teaching of the Bible to be baptized immediately? - the World Mission Society Church of God

Most churches give the baptism after 6 month or 1 year study. Is this teaching Biblical?

The Bible says that we cannot boast about tomorrow and we must be baptized immediately.

Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring forth. (Proverbs 27:1)

We really do not know what will happen in a day or even in an hour.
Therefore, baptism is urgently needed for sinners.

Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of (the name of) the Son and (the name) of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. (Matthew 28:19)

Jesus commanded the Disciples to baptize people in the name of the Father and the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and then teach them to obey His commandments. So, it’s not the teaching of Jesus to study the Bible for 6 months or 1 year and then get the baptism.

As soon as we come to realize the Savior of this age, we must be baptized immediately. Why do we need to get baptized first? It’s because baptism is the first step of the life of faith. According to the teaching of Jesus, the disciples also baptized people immediately.

As they traveled along the road, they came to some water and the eunuch said, “Look, here is water. Why shouldn’t I be baptized?” And he gave orders to stop the chariot. Then both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water and Philip baptized him. (Acts 8:36-37)

Philip met the eunuch for the first time. But when the eunuch heard the good news, he got baptized on the road.

At that hour of the night the jailer took them [Paul and Silas] and washed their wounds; then immediately he and all his family were baptized. (Acts 16:33)

The jailer and his family also got baptized immediately at night. Some people say that they cannot get the baptism because they already did. Then, what’s the teaching of the Bible?

So Paul asked, “Then what baptism did you receive?” “John’s baptism,” they replied. Paul said, “John’s baptism was a baptism of repentance. He told the people to believe in the one coming after him, that is, in Jesus.” On hearing this, they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus. (Acts 19:1-5)

Paul met some disciples who had been baptized by John the Baptist.
When they heard the good news about Jesus, they got baptized again in the name of Jesus. At that time, since it’s the age of the Son, the Savior was Jesus.
Therefore, they were re-baptized in the name of the Son although they had been baptized before.

Now, we are living in the age of the Holy Spirit and we must be baptized in the name of the Holy Spirit: Christ Ahnsahnghong. Since we are spiritual sinners (Romans 6:23), we must receive the promise of the forgiveness of sins. According to the teaching of Jesus, the World Mission Society Church of God (WMSCOG) baptize people in the name of the Father [Jehovah], the name of the Son [Jesus], and the name of the Holy Spirit since we are living in the age of the Spirit.

Please get baptized in the name of the Holy Spirit(Christ Ahnshanghong) for the forgiveness of your sins and receive the gift of the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:38.)
