Come then into the joy of my kingdom. So do not say, children, that baptism is a useless thing.  If it were only man who created it, you could say, it is a pointless thing &amp;lt;&#039;&#039;he mea noa&#039;&#039;&amp;gt;.&lt;/ins&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

Do you wish to see, children, that the apostles practised baptism? When the  Holy Spirit came upon them, they went out of the house and as Peter was the greatest among them, he preached the first.  A great number of people believed and said to Peter: What shall we do?  Repent, he told them, be baptised in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins and three thousand were baptised, &#039;&#039;he mea pai whakaharahara te iriiringa&#039;&#039;.  It is the soap for the soul.&lt;/ins&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
