This last ingredient of becoming the person God wants us to be is an enigma. The majority of Christians agree baptism was commanded by Christ and must be done in obedience to him. At the same time churches differ on the who, when, why and how of baptism."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." Acts 2:37-38
