Jesus said to his disciples;
….. Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.
He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
Mark 15:15-16.
“All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go, therefore, and make
disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe everything I have commanded you” (Matt.
28:18 – 20)
According to this scripture, the only prerequisite for baptism is a new birth. Anyone who is a believer in Christ Jesus is a qualified candidate for baptism.
