Water Baptism

Have you been baptised in water?

The importance of water baptism is explained in these few verses of scripture:

Water baptism is by immersion. Acts 8:38. The Greek word for baptize means “to dip,” “to immerse,” or “to envelope.”
Water baptism is for all believers and takes place after Salvation. Acts 19:1–5
Baptism is a public declaration and testimony. Rom. 10:9,10
The Bible tells us to be baptised Acts 10:48, Acts 2:38
Baptism is a pledge motivated by love to serve the Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Peter 3:21
Water baptism is a picture of our new life in Christ Rom. 6: 3–6

If you are interested in being baptised or have any questions, Pastor Stan would love the opportunity to speak with you. Please contact him.
