Baptism

Jesus’ baptism marked a turning point in his life. It was a demonstration of humility, a picture of His ultimate mission: death, burial and resurrection.

Baptism marks a turning point in our life, too. It publicly expresses our commitment to God through our faith in the Gospel and is a picture of what God has done inside us.

“Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.” Romans 6:4

Anyone who believes in Jesus Christ should be baptized after trusting him. (Acts 2:41; Acts 8:12)

We are baptized to obey Jesus’ command and to follow His example. (Matthew 28:19; Mark 1:9-11)

The Greek word “baptizo” means “to dip” or “to immerse.” That’s how Jesus was baptized. It demonstrates our death and burial. Coming out of the water is a vivid picture of our new life in Christ. (Matthew 3:16; Acts 8:38-39)

Any baptism prior to your decision to receive Christ for salvation wouldn’t be true baptism since you could not reason a choice as an infant. Biblical baptism always took place after salvation.
