Baptism

We had an amazing turnout for our baptism class last Sunday. It is a HUGE encouragement to have nine children seeking to be baptized. We’ll be seeing a lot of life-changing baptisms taking place over the next few months…Praise God!!!

For those that are wondering what baptism is or whether it is for you or your child here is some information that will help:

BAPTISM

Baptism can not get you to heaven
    We can only get to heaven through our belief and faith in Jesus. Ephesians 2:8-9

Act of obedience
    We get baptized to obey God’s Word. Matthew 28:19

Picture of Christ’s Death, Burial and Resurrection
    Colossians 2:12 

Those who believe in Christ should be baptized
    Did you know that only those who have asked Jesus into their heart need to be baptized? Why? Because Baptism is an outward symbol of an inward commitment!   

Identifies you with Christ      
    Romans 6:4 

Symbol of belief
    1 Corinthians 15:3-4

Must be under water
    Matthew 3:16

Next baptism class is December 14; please feel free to contact me at the church office if you have any questions.

Greg
