The first step after salvation is water baptism.
Baptize in the original Greek means – to immerse, dip, to plunge all the way under.
We will put you completely under the water, not just sprinkle. We believe in immersion.
The act of baptism illustrates the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus that we received at salvation.
It is our public testimony that we have entered into salvation. There is something so powerful in submitting to public water baptism. You are not only telling God and others that you have chosen to follow Jesus, but you also tell your own soul that from now on you will be serving God and physically obeying the Word of God. It disciplines your mind to think that way.
It has a strengthening effect. It will help you to follow God.
