Baptism is a public act of obedience that symbolizes a believer’s faith in Jesus Christ. It is practiced only after a person has made a personal profession of faith, reflecting the conviction that baptism does not save but follows salvation. Baptism by full immersion in water pictures the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ, as well as the believer’s own death to sin and new life in Him. It serves as both a testimony of faith to the church and the world, and as an act of identification with Christ and His body, the church. Baptism is an outward declaration of an inward transformation, pointing to the believer’s union with Christ and commitment to follow Him.
