All About Baptism

What is the significance of baptism?
Baptism is an outward sign of an inward change once you choose Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. 

Why should I consider getting baptized?
Following The Example of Christ:
In order to understand the reason for being water baptized, it is important to carefully consider what the Bible says about it: Jesus himself was baptized. He was not a sinner, yet he humbled himself in obedience to identify with us and give us an example to follow. At that time, Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan River. The moment he came out of the water, he saw the sky split open and God’s Spirit, looking like a dove, came upon him. Along with the Spirit, a voice: “You are my Son, chosen and marked by my love, pride of my life.” Mark 1:9 MSG

An Act Of Obedience:
Water baptism is an act of faith and obedience to the commands of Jesus Christ. “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Matthew 28:19-20

A public declaration:
Baptism declares that you are a follower of Jesus Christ. It is a public confession of your faith in, and commitment to, Jesus Christ. It is a next step after salvation through repentance and faith and is an important foundation for Christian life. Then he said, “Go into the world. Go everywhere and announce the message of God’s good news to one and all. Whoever believes and is baptized is saved; whoever refuses to believe is damned.” Mark 16:16 MSG
