Jesus gave these ordinances to the Church to proclaim His message and to build up His people. In a world of so many languages, the unity of Christians is clearly expressed through these two common acts. We believe that these ordinances are to be observed as they were in the day of the Apostles. Baptism is an act of obedience commanded by Jesus Christ. It is an important part of one s becoming a Christian.
Baptism is a pledge of allegiance, a total physical commitment.
Only those who understand what it means to make a commitment to Jesus Christ. The Lord s Supper is an act of worship. It is a time when Christians are to empty their minds of all else, that they might remember the love and sacrifice of Jesus Christ. This sacred supper was introduced by Jesus the evening before His crucifixion. Jesus wants us to receive spiritual strength from eating this spiritual meal.
