Baptism. What is water baptism? ➡ Water baptism is an outward act, which denotes or symbolizes an inward experience that has already taken place in the life of a believer in Xxxxx. The word “baptism” means “to dip, to immerse, or to submerge.” The act of immersing a new believer in water symbolizes two things: first, identification with the death, burial, and resurrection of Xxxxx Xxxxxx; and second, identification with the Body of Xxxxxx, his church. Where is water baptism mentioned in the Bible? “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit ...” (Xxxxxxx 28:19). “What shall we say then?

Baptism. We believe that Christian baptism by immersion of a believer in water in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, is the Bible mode of baptism and testifies of the believer’s faith in and identification with the crucified, buried, and risen Savior (Matt. 3:13-17; 28:19-20; Rom. 6:3-5).
