BAPTISM

What is water baptism?

Once someone has given their life to the Lord and accepts the free gift of Salvation through Jesus, the next step is to publicly declare their life belongs to the Lord. We do this through water baptism.

Baptism is a symbolic act of being submerged in water. It’s symbolic in a few ways:

  1. Baptism is representative of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Going in to the water symbolizes dying to the old self and emerging represents our new life in Christ.

  2. It symbolizes purification from sin. Washing away any sins and impurities and represents a fresh start or new beginning.

  3. Water baptism serves as a way for us to publicly declare our faith in Christ. It is not a means to accept salvation, but to show that we have.

  4. Jesus commands us in Matthew 28 to baptize in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
