What is water baptism in JESUS name? (verses written out below)

It is a covenant with God; a promise; an agreement; a testament. (Exodus 24:7-8, Hebrews 8:7-13)

We enter covenant with God by repenting of our sins - regretting and turning away from sin, turning our life around to live for Jesus. We become “dead” to sin. We are immersed in a “grave” of water where we are “buried” with Jesus. Our sins are washed away by His blood through His name, for His name “JESUS” is called upon us. (Acts 2:38, Matthew 26:28, Romans 6:3-4,6, Revelation 1:5, Acts 22:16, Acts 10:43 NLT, James 2:7)

By water baptism in JESUS name we have been born of water and have the promise of the gift of God’s Spirit, the Holy Ghost. With the infilling of His Holy Ghost, speaking in tongues as His Spirit speaks through us, we are born of His Spirit. (John 3:5,8, Acts 2:2,4)

We have been born again and have entered the kingdom of God. We are a new creature. Jesus calls us His sons and daughters. We have entered the New Covenant [New Testament]. (2 Corinthians 5:17, 2Corinthians 6:17-18, Hebrews 8:8-13)

"For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second. For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah: Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord. For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest. For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more. In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old.
