The requirement for baptism

The requirement to get baptized necessitates that one confess that Jesus is the Son of God.

Acts 8:36-37 (KJV)

36 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?

37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.

This is how deceptive satan is, rarely do you hear in the Churches this confession being taught as the requirement for baptism. Sure they teach that you have to accept Jesus as your personal Saviour, but do they tell you which Jesus to accept? In fact, many times they require you to confess that God is a trinity in order to get baptized. This is outright unbiblical and is a tradition of man. Also, many churches add other requirements to get baptized such as membership in their denomination, agreement to keep the Sabbath and dress reform. However, these are all things that are to come after one gets baptized not prior to it. Adding these things is unbiblical. The only requirement for baptism is the confession that Jesus is the Son of God and repentance.
