Water baptism not only signifies that you have died to your old sins and have come up forgiven, that you have died to the old fallen nature and have come up a new creature in Christ, that you have died to the world system and have come up a citizen of God s kingdom, that you have died to the flesh and have come up in the Spirit, but it also signifies that you have died to being an independent, individualistic person and have come up a member of the Body of Christ. And the way you grow spiritually is by being a participating member of the Body of Christ. The early Christians fellowshipped and gathered together constantly. If you will grow properly as a Christian, you must do the same. Dear friend, having seen the profound significance of water baptism that it is a funeral service to bury the old life you used to live it must not be entered into lightly.
Baptism is no small thing.
If you have truly given your whole life to Jesus Christ and have counted your old sinful life as dead and buried, then you are ready to enter into the waters of baptism. If, on the other hand, you are not yet ready to leave this world system and make Jesus Christ your new Master, baptism will do nothing for you. You will only get wet. I urge you to go to the Lord in prayer after reading this tract and decide before the Lord if you are ready to be baptized. If you are ready to take this step, know that this will be a joyous occasion a memorable celebration.
