WHAT ABOUT BAPTISM?
One of the most important things to understand about baptism is that it is not the “thing” that saves you or makes you in right relationship with Jesus. Before you are baptized, a person gives their life to Jesus and makes Him the Lord of their life, and then after that, baptism takes place.
Baptism is something that was modeled by Jesus and it is a public profession of saying you are a Christian.

Why Should I Get Baptized?
- To follow Jesus example.
- Jesus commanded it.
- It demonstrates I am a Believer.
What is the meaning of Baptism?
- It illustrates the Gospel message.
“Having been buried with him in baptism and raised with him through your faith in the power of God, who raised him from the dead.” (Colossians 2:12)
- Why do we baptize by immersion?
“Then both Phillip and the eunuch went down into the water and Phillip baptized him. When they came up out of the water...” (Acts 8:38-39)
The word “baptize” literally means “to dip or immerse”. It symbolizes a burial and resurrection.“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)
- Who should be baptized?
“Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day.” (Acts 2:41)
- What about children?
