Water Baptism: How? When? Why?
Jesus said, "He who believes and is baptized will be saved" (Mark 16:16). GOD's way of salvation is still the same: first, believe; then, be baptized.
Believing in CHRIST produces an inward change in our hearts. Being baptized in water is an outward act of obedience to GOD. By it we testify. We demonstrate that the change has taken place inside, in our hearts.
Baptism makes us one with CHRIST in HIS burial and in HIS resurrection. We are separated from the old life of sin and defeat. We come out of the water to lead a new life of righteousness and victory. This is made possible by GOD's power in us.
The Scriptures explain very carefully how, when, and why we must be baptized.
(Romans 6:4)
