The real baptism of the Holy Spirit places a believer into Christ. Water baptism is a ceremonial representation of that face, a picture of Spirit baptism. Christians have a real identification with Christ in his death, burial, and resurrection. See Romans 6. Water baptism is symbolic identification with the person and work of Christ.
Water baptism comes after salvation.
It does not precede salvation. Water baptism which precedes salvation is only a religious practice, ritual without reality, therefore it is meaningless. Believer's baptism is not religion, but a indicates a relationship with Jesus Christ that lasts forever. There is no charge for Grace Notes Materials. The ministry is supported by Christians who pray for the work and share in the expenses.
