What is Baptism?
Baptism declares that you are a follower of Jesus Christ. It is a public confession of your faith in and commitment to Him. It is the next step after Salvation through repentance and faith and is an important foundation for the Christian life.
As we go under the water we bury the ‘old life’. When we come out of the water we walk in a ‘new life’. Colossians 2:12-14
2 Cortinthians 5:17: Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!
