Baptism
“But when they believed the good news of the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.”
Acts 8:12

What is baptism?
To be baptized in Jesus’ name shows your identification with Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection (Acts 2:38; Romans 6:3-8; Colossians 2:12; 1 Peter 3:21). In baptism, you publicly testify that you died to your former life of sin against God, but as Christ was raised from the dead, so you were also raised to eternal life in relationship with him. This truth making baptism an obedient act of public declaration that your salvation is found in Christ.

Does baptism save me?
The biblical order is repentance and belief, then baptism. Scripture is abundantly clear that salvation from sin and hell is not the result of baptism (Acts 15:9; 1 John 1:9). However, the act of baptism is so closely related to the act of faith that they are often expressed as one act. Baptism is reserved for those who sincerely repent of their sins and place faith in the Lord Jesus. It is this faith in Christ that saves us from our sins

I was baptized as a baby, should I do it again?
Baptism is a public identification of your faith in Christ and commitment to follow Him. We only encourage baptism more than once if ones initial baptism was not out of a sincere belief in Jesus.
