For we died and were buried with Christ by baptism. And just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glorious power of the Father, now we also may live new lives. Romans 6:4 (NLT)

For you were buried with Christ when you were baptized. And with him you were raised to a new life because you trusted the mighty power of God, who raised Christ from the dead… Then God made you alive with Christ. Colossians 2:12-13 (NLT)

Symbolically, Baptism… Identifies me with Christ’s death and resurrection. Illustrates my new life as a Christian. Represents the cleansing work of God in my life.

…People should be baptized to show that they had turned from their sins and turned to God to be forgiven. Mark 1:4 (NLT)

Why should I be baptized?

I Should Be Baptized… To follow the example set by Jesus. I Should Be Baptized… To follow the example set by Jesus.

I Should Be Baptized… To follow the example set by Jesus. Because Christ commands it. I Should Be Baptized… To follow the example set by Jesus. Because Christ commands it.

…all the people who had faith in the Lord were baptized. Acts 18:8 (NLT)

Is it more appropriate to baptize babies or people old enough to make a faith decision?

Therefore, go and make disciples… baptizing them… Matthew 28:19 (NLT)

Biblical Baptism takes place after a faith commitment.

Does baptism in and of itself save anybody?

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith– and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God–not by works, so that no one can boast. Ephesians 2:8-9 (NIV)

Baptism expresses your salvation, it doesn’t earn it.

What if a person claims to be a Christian, but refuses to be baptized?

“Sir, if the prophet had told you to do some great thing, wouldn't you have done it? So you should certainly obey him when he says simply to go and wash and be cured!” 2 Kings 5:14 (NLT)

Baptism is an act of obedience, and refusal demonstrates a heart problem.

Do I need to be baptized by immersion, or is sprinkling or pouring also valid?

The Greek word baptizo means “to immerse or dip under water”.

“Now about baptism: this is how to baptize. Give public instruction on all these points, and then baptize in running water, ‘in the name of the Father and of the Son and in the Holy Spirit.’ If you do not have running water, baptize in some other. If The Didache

you cannot in cold, then in warm. If you have neither, then pour water on the head three times…” ~ from The Didache (alternate title: The Teaching of the Twelve Apostles) c AD you cannot in cold, then in warm. If you have neither, then pour water on the head three times…” ~ from The Didache (alternate title: The Teaching of the Twelve Apostles) c AD The Didache

When and where should I be baptized?

As they rode along, they came to some water, and the eunuch said, "Look! There's some water! Why can't I be baptized?" He ordered the carriage to stop, and they went down into the water, and Philip baptized him. Acts 8:36-38 (NLT)

You should be baptized in your church community shortly after accepting Christ.
