What is Baptism?

Water Baptism was instituted by God to be an essential part of a Christian’s Foundation. If you have not been water baptized, you need to be. Jesus stressed the vital importance of water baptism when He commissioned His followers to baptize all those who became Christians.

More About Baptism

Who should be water baptized?

If you have surrendered your life to Jesus and accepted Him as your Lord and Savior, then water baptism is for you! We choose to get baptized out of our love for Him and a desire to obey Him. Jesus stressed its importance when He said: “Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.” (Mark 16:16)

The New Testament teaches that one should be baptized as a result of personal faith in Jesus as their Lord and Savior, not for any other reason.

“Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” (Acts 2:38)

What is the meaning of Water Baptism?

Baptism is an outward sign of an inner reality. It’s the response to the one who saved you. Like a wedding ceremony, it is making an announcement to the world saying, “My life belongs to Jesus”. It’s a promise to God and family concerning your life. It is a beginning step in a lifelong covenant with God. We are dead to sin, but alive in Christ! (Romans 6:1-5)
