Pou Legliz la apostolik, Batèm te pòtay lavil la nan lavi kretyen (gade Travay 8:12, 38; 9:18; 10:48). Anplis de sa, nan Travay 8:37, gwo chèf la peyi Letiopi, te gen resevwa Levanjil la nan Saint Filip, eksprime dezi a pou Batèm. Menm jan an tou, nan Travay 16:33, Pòl ak Silas batize chèf prizon an Philippian ak tout moun lakay li "san pèdi tan." Rankontre konvèsyon pwòp tèt li, Pòl sonje ke Ananyas te di l ', "Koulye a, kisa ou rete tann? Leve non yo epi yo dwe resevwa batèm, epi lave tout peche ou, rele sou non l ' " (Travay 22:16). Pòl di Efezyen yo ki "Kris te renmen legliz la e li te bay tèt li leve pou l ', ke li ta ka mete l ', li te gen geri li lè li te lave a nan dlo ak pawòl Bondye a " (Lèt nan Efèz yo Pòl la, 5:25-26; italik ajoute). Nan l ' Lèt nan Tit, Pòl te wrotes nou yo te sove "pa benyen nan nan rne."

For the Apostolic Church, Baptism was the gateway to Christian life (see Acts 8:12, 38; 9:18; 10:48). In addition, in Acts 8:37, the Ethiopian eunuch, having received the Gospel from Saint Philip, expresses the desire for Baptism. Likewise, in Acts 16:33, Paul and Silas baptize the Philippian jailer and his entire household “without delay.” Recounting his own conversion, Paul remembers that Ananias had said to him, “And now why do you wait? Rise and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on his name” (Acts 22:16). Paul tells the Ephesians that “Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word” (Paul’s Letter to the Ephesians, 5:25-26; emphasis added). In his Letter to Titus, the Paul wrotes we are saved “by the bath of rebirth.”
