Baptism in Water

SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 2010

Baptism in water is a starting point for those who truly want to start a new life with the Lord Jesus.

After the resurrection, the Lord Jesus taught His disciples about its importance by giving them a clear command: "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned." Mark 16.15,16

The meaning of baptism in water - In the same way that the burial of a body after death is a ceremony that pronounces the breaking of the last tie between man and his earthly life, baptism in water is the public declaration of a believer's breaking with with his own natural life. Our inner self is mortified, and sin no longer has dominion over us.
