Go public with your faith
Water baptism is a command that our Lord Jesus made for his follower. It is how we go public with our faith and is an outward sign of the inward work of God's Spirit.
Water baptism...
- Is a public announcement of our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
- Signifies our sins are gone, forgiven and buried with Christ.
- Signifies we identify with Jesus Christ in His death, burial and resurrection.
- Does not make a person a Christian.
The word "baptize" means "to immerse or cleanse." When you are baptized, you will be fully immersed in water, just as we see in the Bible and signifies being buried and then rising out of the water to "new life."
Or don't you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life. Romans 6:3-4
