WHAT IS WATER BAPTISM?
Water baptism was instituted by Jesus Christ as a means of Grace. The Bible teaches us that water baptism is an act of faith that follows for those that receive Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. It signifies that you want to identify with the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus, and that you have decided to walk in the newness of life and to be identified with those who share this faith. Baptism is like a wedding ring. The ring doesn’t make you married but is a symbol for the marriage relationship. Baptism doesn’t make you a Christian but symbolizes that when you believe in Jesus as your Savior that your sins are washed away and reconciliation with God has been accomplished by the power of the Holy Spirit. You are making an outward proclamation of your faith in Jesus Christ when you are baptized.

WHY SHOULD YOU BE BAPTIZED?
A child of God is to live his life according to God’s Word and to follow the examples of Jesus. To be baptized is to be obedient to the commandant of Jesus for He said  “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit” (Matthew 28:19).

a message of salvation with Pastor Bill

If you have not yet received the Lord as your Savior and you would like to have a personal relationship with Jesus, you can pray the following prayer to accept Him into your heart:
Dear God,
I believe that Jesus is Your Only Son and that He died on the CROSS and was RAISED from the dead, by the power of the Holy Spirit. I need You and I want to receive your gift of grace. Because I have sinned and need forgiveness, I ask Jesus to come into my heart and I am willing to change the direction of my life by acknowledging Jesus as my Lord and Savior by turning away from my sins to live for You. I know that I cannot come to You any other way except by Your Son and I thank You for granting to me this gift of forgiveness and giving me eternal life. Amen.


Now as they went down the road, they came to some water. And the eunuch said, 
"See, here is water. What hinders me from being baptized?" Then Philip said, "If you believe with all your heart, you may." 
And he answered and said, "I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.”

Acts 8:36-37
