Read Matthew 28:19 – Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit
Baptism in Water - The ordinance of baptism by immersion is commanded by the Scriptures. All who repent and believe on Christ as Savior and Lord are to be baptized. Thus they declare to the world that they have died with Christ and that they also have been raised with Him to walk in newness of life.
Water baptism is our outward expression of what the Holy Spirit has done for us. He has baptized us into the Body of Christ at the moment of our repentance of sin and acceptance of Jesus Christ. This is a supernatural work of God. There is nothing else God has to do for this transition to be realized in the individual. Water baptism testifies to the world of this event in your life. It is an act of faith and obedience to follow the Lord in baptism. By doing so you are declaring to the world that you are a new creation and not the man you once were.
