Baptism holds significant importance and represents an important step in a person's faith journey. Here are some key aspects for Baptists:
Baptism is viewed as a symbolic act that publicly represents a person's faith in Jesus Christ and their identification with His death, burial, and resurrection.
We practice "believer's baptism," which means that individuals are baptized after making a personal profession of faith in Jesus Christ. It is typically not performed on infants but reserved for those who can understand and personally choose to follow Jesus.
Immersion: We practice baptism by full immersion in water. This immersion symbolizes the death and burial of the old self and the resurrection to new life in Christ.
Obedience and Public Declaration: Baptism is seen as an act of obedience to Christ's command and a public declaration of one's faith.
