What is Baptism?
“For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome. (1 John 5:3)
In essence, water baptism is a public demonstration of one’s faith in Jesus Christ, and it is done as an outward sign of the inward reality that has already taken place in their lives.
When believers are baptized, they are making a public proclamation that they are totally identified with the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. They are proclaiming publicly that they are saved, that they have surrendered their life to Jesus, and they are totally His.

Why Should I Be Baptized?
