This practice may be 2,000 years old, but Christians have never quit observing this important ordinance of the church. R Baptism speaks of our Repentance. Baptism is a ritual that shows that we have turned from our rebellious ways, we have remembered our God and allowed him to Rescue us from sin. We have renounced our former ways and found our rest in God, the Rock of our Salvation. S Baptism is a Symbol.
Baptism is a sacred symbol.
Some people say it is just a symbol, but they sadly underestimate the power of a symbol with they say that. It is a powerful action that shatters our sin, shapes our lives, and shifts our priorities. We are baptized in the name of the Trinity. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.
