What is Baptism?

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 6:4)

Believer's Baptism is an important step of obedience for Christians to publicly declare that they have put their faith and trust in Jesus for salvation. It is an outward expression of an inward change. Being baptized shows others that you've decided to follow Jesus and allows them to celebrate that decision with you.

Baptism doesn't save a person; it is a symbol and celebration of salvation. We were once dead in our sin, but have now experienced the resurrection power of Jesus.
