The Great Commission includes baptizing them and teaching them to obey all Jesus commanded. Which element is included?

• A. Only baptizing believers
• B. Teaching them to obey everything Jesus commanded
• C. Never mention baptism
• D. Baptizing them and teaching them to obey all Jesus commanded

Answer: (D)

The main concept being tested is that making disciples involves both initiating new believers through baptism and guiding them in living out Jesus’ commands. In the Great Commission, followers are told to go and make disciples of all nations, baptize them, and teach them to observe everything Jesus commanded. This shows a two-part process: entry into the faith community through baptism and ongoing instruction that shapes daily living in obedience to Jesus. The best option reflects both elements together—baptizing them and teaching them to obey all Jesus commanded. The other choices fall short because they emphasize only one side (baptism alone or teaching alone) or omit baptism entirely, which doesn’t capture the full scope of disciple-making Jesus described.
