This teaching explains clearly that marriage and baptism are separate things. Baptism is a command from God showing repentance and washing away sins. Acts 22 reminds us that Paul was told to rise and be baptized without waiting. Marriage is part of physical life, while baptism is a spiritual act. Brother Eli explains that the Bible never says someone must be married or engaged before baptism. When someone understands Christ’s teachings and believes, the right step is immediate baptism. Salvation should not be delayed because of human rules. Marriage can come later, but baptism is the response of faith. Requiring marriage before baptism adds a rule God never commanded.
