Baptism
Baptism is not…
1. A public profession of faith. (Nowhere in the Bible is baptism described as a public profession of faith.)
2. A milestone to be “attained” or “accomplished” along your spiritual journey.
3. A means by which you are “saved.”
4. A grand finale of one’s salvation.
Baptism is…
1. A step of OBEDIENCE after salvation. Other than salvation, there are no “pre-requsites” for baptism.
2. SYMBOLIC of your complete surrender to the purposes of God in your life.
3. Represents the BEGINNING of a new life, cleansed, and set free from the power of sin.
