Gal 1:6 I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called m you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel n — Note the word grace does not include manditory baptism in the sentence; in other words it doesn't say "you by the grace and baptism of Christ".
Gal 1:7 which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion o and are trying to pervert p the gospel of Christ.
Mk 16:16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. Note this does NOT say whoever does not believe and is not baptized will be condemned. It is your belief that Jesus is the only true savior that saves you not the act of baptism. You're saved even if you're not baptize although it's noted that it's something one should do as a public proclamation of faith.
Ro 6:3 Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized b into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? This refers to the baptism through the word into Christ Jesus. The belief that Jesus is Lord and Savior through the word saves us.
Ro 6:4 We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death c in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead d through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life. e
6:1-8:39 In 3:21-5:21 Paul explains how God has provided for our redemption and justification. He next explains the doctrine of sanctification—the process by which believers grow to maturity in Christ. He treats this subject in three parts: (1) freedom from sin’s tyranny (ch. 6), (2) freedom from the law’s condemnation (ch. 7) and (3) life in the power of the Holy Spirit (ch. 8).
6:1 Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? This question arose out of what Paul had just said in 5:20: "Where sin increased, grace increased all the more."
6:2 died to sin. The reference is to an event in the past and is explained in v. 3.
6:3–4 The when and how of the Christian’s death to sin. In NT times baptism so closely followed conversion that the two were considered part of one event (see Ac 2:38 and note). So although baptism is not a means by which we enter into a vital faith relationship with Jesus Christ, it is closely associated with faith. Baptism depicts graphically what happens as a result of the Christian’s union with Christ, which comes with faith—through faith we are united with Christ, just as through our natural birth we are united with Adam. As we fell into sin and became subject to death in father Adam, so we now have died and been raised again with Christ—which baptism symbolizes.
6:3 know. Three key words in this chapter are "know" (here and in vv. 6, 9), "offer" (vv. 11, 13, 16, 19) and "obey" (vv. 12, 16–17).
6:4 buried with him through baptism into death. Amplified in vv. 5–7. through the glory of the Father. By the power of God. God’s glory is his divine excellence, his perfection. Any one of his attributes is a manifestation of his excellence. Thus his power is a manifestation of his glory, as is his righteousness (see 3:23 and note). Glory and power are often closely related in the Bible (see Ps 145:11; Col 1:11; 1Pe 4:11; Rev 1:6; 4:11; 5:12–13; 7:12; 19:1). live a new life. Amplified in vv. 8–10.
6:6 our old self. Our unregenerate self; what we once were. body of sin. The self in its pre-Christian state, dominated by sin. This is a figurative expression in which the old self is personified. It is a "body" that can be put to death. For the believer, this old self has been "rendered powerless" (see NIV text note) so that it can no longer enslave us to sin—whatever lingering vitality it may yet exert in its death throes.
6:7 has died. The believer’s death with Christ to sin’s ruling power (see v. 3). freed from sin. Not sinless, but free from sin’s shackles and power.
6:8 As resurrection followed death in the experience of Christ, so the believer who dies with Christ is raised to a new quality of life here and now. Resurrection in the sense of a new birth is already a fact, and it increasingly exerts itself in the believer’s life.
6:10 he died to sin once for all. In his death Christ (for the sake of sinners) submitted to the "reign" of sin (5:21); but his death broke the judicial link between sin and death, and he passed forever from the sphere of sin’s "reign." Having been raised from the dead, he now lives forever to glorify God. to God. For the glory of God.
6:11 count yourselves. The first step toward victory over sin in the life of believers (for the succeeding steps see note on vv. 12–13). They are dead to sin and alive to God, and by faith they are to live in the light of this truth. in Christ. The first occurrence in Romans of this phrase, which is found often in Paul’s writings. True believers are "in Christ" because they have died with Christ and have been raised to new life with him. See note on Eph 1:1.
6:12–13 A call for Christians to become in practice what they already are in their status before God—dead to sin (see vv. 5–7) and alive to God (see vv. 8–10). The second step toward victory over sin is refusal to let sin reign in one’s life (v. 12). The third step is to offer oneself to God (v. 13).
“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.
By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” John 13:34-35
