Baptism

We understand baptism to be an external sign of an internal event. The internal event is the decision to acknowledge Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. When we make this life-changing acknowledgement, we realize that He died on the cross and rose from the dead to defeat evil (sin) in each of our lives and in this world. In baptism we also commit to seeking to continually receive the Holy Spirit to lead, comfort, and empower us to live holy and fruitful lives.

Here are the three questions each person is asked before being baptized:

Do you confess that Jesus Christ is both your Savior (rescuer) and your Lord?

Do you believe He died on the cross to save (rescue) you and that He rose from the dead and thereby defeated the evil in this world and in your life?

Will you continue to receive the Holy Spirit with awareness that it is the Spirit that leads, comforts, and empowers you to live a holy and fruitful life?
