Baptism is a public declaration that you have accepted Jesus and are turning away from your old life of sin. When you are placed under the water and raised back up, it symbolizes:
Follow Jesus’ Example: Jesus was baptized, modeling obedience to God.
Obedience to His Command: Jesus said, “Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit” (Matthew 28:19).
Baptism is a step of obedience that demonstrates your commitment to Jesus.
WHO SHOULD GET BAPTIZED?
Baptism is for anyone who has decided to make Jesus their Lord and follow Him. It is the step you take after experiencing salvation.
