Baptism at Crossroads
Why Be Baptized?
- To follow the example set by Jesus (Matthew 3:13-17)
- To obey the command of Jesus (Matthew 28:18-20)
- To publicly profess my faith in Jesus Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17)
If you have made a commitment to Jesus Christ but have never been baptized following that commitment, this is a great next step!
Baptism is a way to go public with our faith in Jesus and show we are serious about following him. The physical act of baptism is an outward sign of an inward reality. Baptism does not "save" you, only your faith in Jesus does that. Jesus died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins, and we are saved from our sins because we trust in Jesus, not because of our good works or as a result of our baptism. The Bible is extremely clear that it is only by God's grace, received through our faith in Jesus Christ that we are saved (Ephesians 2:8-9).
Baptism is a big step in our relationship with Jesus. Before each baptism service there is a mandatory class. We will walk through what the Bible says about baptism, as well as hear your story of faith in Christ.
