Today we have the privilege of celebrating the ordinance of Water Baptism. Candidates will declare their faith in Jesus by stepping into the water, answering a couple of questions, being completely immersed, and then brought back up.
But what is it really all about. After all, through church history and even today, there are many differing thoughts regarding baptisms meaning and mode. Some will say we baptize as infants, we baptize by sprinkling, without baptism you cannot be saved.
So today I want to take a few minutes to discuss Water Baptism and what it all means.
