BAPTISM

Q: Does baptism forgive my sins?

No— trusting Jesus forgives your sins. Baptism is a public declaration of your decision to trust Jesus.

BAPTISM

When you publicly declare your faith in Jesus Christ, you’re making a bold statement that you’re all in as His follower.

BAPTISM IS…

a picture of the forgiveness and cleansing from sin that comes through faith in Jesus
a symbol of dying to your old self and being raised to new life in Christ
a public declaration of your faith in Jesus Christ and a commitment to follow Him
an important step of obedience in the believer’s life, yet only an outward acknowledgment of the salvation experience already accomplished
