[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_class=”panel-txt” _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a symbol of Jesus\u2019 burial and resurrection.<\/b>\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cChrist died for our sins . . . he was buried . . . And he rose again.\u201d\u2014<\/i>1 Corinthians 15:3<\/a>,\u00a04<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cFor when you were baptized, you were buried with Christ, and in baptism you were also raised with Christ.\u201d\u2014<\/i>Colossians 2:12<\/a><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a symbol of your new life as a Christian.<\/b>\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cAnyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun<\/i>!\u201d\u2014<\/i><\/b>2 Corinthians 5:17<\/a><\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cBy our baptism, then, we were buried with him and shared his death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from death . . . we also might live a new life.\u201d\u2014<\/i>Romans 6:4<\/a><\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n

Why Should I be Baptized<\/h2>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_class=”panel-txt” _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Jesus was baptized, so by getting baptized, we\u2019re following his example.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2018At that time Jesus came from Nazareth . . . and was baptized by John in the Jordan [River].<\/em>\u00a0Mark 1:9<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jesus commanded that his followers be baptized.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201c[Jesus said,] \u2018Go then, to all peoples everywhere and make them my disciples, baptize them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and teach them to obey everything I have commanded you.<\/em>\u2018\u201d\u00a0Matthew 28:19-20<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n

Baptism is your public declaration of faith in Jesus.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201c. . . many of the Corinthians who heard [him] believed and were baptized.<\/em>\u201d\u00a0Acts 18:8<\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Getting baptized shows that you know Jesus on a personal level.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWe know that we have come to know Him, if we keep His commandments.<\/em>\u201d\u00a01 John 2:3<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Who Should Be Baptized<\/h2>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_class=”panel-txt” _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Every person who has made the decision to believe in Christ should be baptized.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThose who accepted his message were baptized.\u201d<\/span><\/i>\u2014<\/span>Acts 2:41<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cBut when they believed Philip as he preached good news . . . and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.\u201d\u2014<\/span><\/i>Acts 8:12<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cSimon himself believed and was baptized . . .\u201d<\/span><\/i>\u2014<\/span>Acts 8:13<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The one requirement for baptism is belief in Jesus! This is why we don\u2019t baptize children until they\u2019re old enough to understand and believe for themselves.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
