Importance of Baptism

Water baptism

The Bible teaches the importance of water baptism as an essential act of faith, performed in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. As Christians, we believe in biblical baptism because Jesus Himself set the example for us. Scripture shows that Jesus was baptized in water, affirming its spiritual significance. In the Gospel of Luke, it says, “When all the people were baptized, Jesus was baptized too. As he was praying, heaven was opened” (Luke 3:21). This passage highlights the power and purpose of Christian water baptism as an outward expression of faith and obedience to God.

Matthew 28:19

Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit

Acts 2:38

Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Romans 6:4

We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.
