BAPTISM
WHY BAPTISM?
We practice baptism by immersion in water, which is the way Jesus was baptized and the way the Bible describes.
"It came to pass in those days that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John in the Jordan. And immediately, coming up from the water, He saw the heavens parting and the Spirit descending upon Him like a dove."
-Mark 1:9-10
"Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,"
-Matthew 28:19
"Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven. But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven."
-Matthew 10:32-33
By being water baptized, you are following the example set by Christ. Water baptism declares publicly what has happened privately.
