They are his property. They are special. Be careful how you treat them. They are God's inheritance. Together they are the body of Christ and to mistreat them is to mistreat Jesus.
Baptism is the focal point of salvation.
It is the moment at which our faith saves us by the grace of God. Its importance can neither be overstated nor overemphasized. Unlike physical birth, the new birth is a conscious, deliberate choice on the part of the person being regenerated. The believer, recognizing he is lost and without hope, decides to be baptized for the remission of sins. The person is in the body of Christ, which is his church-the church of Christ.
