By means of water baptism, we demonstrate to the world our identification with the crucified and risen Christ. By water baptism we testify that our old life is gone, and we are now joined with Jesus. We are pledging ourselves to a new life, with Jesus Christ Who died for us and rose again. Water baptism also acknowledges that the person being immersed is indeed a Christian believer. Only those who accept the Lordship of Jesus Christ should be baptized in water.
Some people place great importance on certain words being spoken when a person is baptized in water.
This is all religious tradition with no real meaning whatsoever. The words spoken by the person baptizing you in water will not save you, or condemn you. Water baptism is not some magic ritual which makes you right with God. Water baptism is a testimony and picture-sermon of what God did in you. Even if no words are spoken over you during your water baptism, it is still a picture of burial and resurrection.
