WHAT DOES BAPTISM MEAN FOR YOU?

tHE SYMBOLISM OF BAPTISM

Baptism is a powerful symbol of death to the old self

and new life in Christ. It’s an outward sign of an

inward change—your declaration that you belong to

Jesus. Through baptism, we identify with Christ's death,

burial, and resurrection, symbolizing the washing away

of sin and the beginning of a new life.



“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

WHY BAPTISM BY IMMERSION?

Immersion is the method shown in Scripture and reflects

 the full picture of Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection.

Being fully submerged represents dying to your old self and

 rising again in newness of life. It’s a complete

 act of obedience, just as Jesus Himself was baptized by immersion.



“As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of

the water. At that moment heaven was opened,

and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a

dove and alighting  on him.” — Matthew 3:16

WHEN AND WHO SHOULD BE BAPTIZED?

Baptism is for anyone who has made a personal decision

to follow Jesus. It’s a step of obedience that follows your

faith in Christ, symbolizing your commitment. If you’ve accepted

Jesus as your Savior, baptism is your next step. Whether you’re

new to faith or have walked with Him for years, the right

time to be baptized is now.

“Those who accepted his message were baptized,

and about three thousand were added to

their number that day.” — Acts 2:41
