Baptism
Common Questions About Baptism
Baptism is a step, in the journey, towards becoming a follower of Christ. It’s a public declaration of how Jesus changed your life. Being baptized shows others that you’ve decided to follow Jesus with your life and allows them to celebrate with you (Acts 16:31-34).
Baptism doesn’t save a person; it’s a symbol and celebration of salvation (1 Peter 3:21). The power that brought Jesus back to life is the same power Jesus uses to change our lives – and that’s worth getting excited about!
Jesus instructs us to be baptized and set the example by being baptized (Matthew 28:19-20, Mark 1:9).
Obedience to Jesus shows we believe and follow Him. (1 John 2:3). Because Jesus went public about His love for us, we can go public about our love for Him. Being baptized shows that we turn away from a life of sin and turn toward Jesus, the only one who can change us (Acts 2:38-41).
We are so glad you’ve made that decision as it’s an important step in each believers faith journey. We believe it’s not just a ceremony but rather it is a moment of declaring who you are; your new identity.
