Baptism is a Christian ceremony where water is used as a physical symbol of spiritual purification, rebirth, and initiation into God’s family. Scripture is clear that baptism is incredibly important and it’s a pretty controversial topic among Christians. Christians argue about who should be baptized (infants or believers), why you should be baptized (salvation or obedience), and how you should be baptized (immersion or sprinkling). Jesus instructed His disciples to go into all the world and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Let's do our best to honor God in how we learn about, teach, discuss, and practice baptism.
