We join the church when we are baptized. D. God's converted people are added to the church. The Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved. Notice four things that baptism does NOT do. Baptism does not change the heart of man .
Baptism is a symbol that the heart has changed.
A man can be baptized without faith, without repentance, and without a new heart. But baptism will not make him a new man or change his heart. Only the power of the Holy Spirit changes a man's heart at conversion. The Holy Spirit must change a person's heart and then he should be baptized. Baptism does not always make a person feel better .
