What is Baptism?
Baptism is a public declaration of faith in Christ Jesus. All who place their faith in Christ ought to publicly declare their new life in Christ through the act of baptism. In doing so, they are declaring themselves to be a member of the church and thus are committing themselves to the local church. Furthermore, in doing so, they are declaring their resolve to follow Christ all the days of their life and are inviting the accountability and encouragement of their local church.
Baptism is a command of Christ. Moments before Jesus ascended to His Father in Matthew 28, He commanded that all who follow Him be baptized in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Baptism does not save a person. It is not necessary for salvation but is essential for obedience to Christ’s command.
Baptism by immersion is a symbol or picture of the gospel. Romans 6 demonstrates that immersion in water depicts Christ’s death and burial and that being raised out of the water depicts Christ’s resurrection from the dead.
