Water Baptisms!

"Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved..." Acts 16:16

Water baptism is an outward expression of an inward change. The Bible commands us to believe and be baptized. After we've accepted Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, the next step we should take is to be baptized in order to make a declarative statement of faith to our friends and family and a symbolic statement that we are now new creations in Christ Jesus through the transformative power of His Holy Spirit. You don't have to be perfect to be baptized; you will be working at that for the rest of your life! You just need to be willing to be receptive to His calling!

​Below are some directions the Bible gives us regarding water baptism.

---

"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," Matthew 28:19

1 Peter 3:21

"and this water symbolizes baptism that now saves you also—not the removal of dirt from the body but the pledge of a clear conscience toward God. It saves you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ,"

Acts 2:38

"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."

Galatians 3:27

"for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ."

Acts 22:16

"And now what are you waiting for? Get up, be baptized and wash your sins away, calling on his name.’"
