We believe in the believer’s baptism.
We believe there is such power in every act Jesus instructed us to do, and baptism is one such act.
About water baptism
The practice of baptism in the New Testament was carried out in one way, the person being baptised was immersed, or put completely under the water, and then brought back up again. Baptism by immersion is therefore the mode of baptism or the way in which baptism was carried out.
What the Bible says
The New Testament passages about baptism suggest that it was administered only to those who gave a believable profession of faith. Acts 2:41 – “Those who received his words were baptised.” Acts 8:12 – “When they believed Philip as he preached the good news of the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptised, both men and women.”
Further clarity on water baptism
Is it for anyone?
Yes and no. Yes, it’s for anyone who believes in Christ. No, it’s not for those who don’t believe; you have to believe in Jesus as the Son of God.
Do we baptise infants?
No. The Bible makes it very clear that you respond to the gospel and you are baptised. Nowhere in the Bible do we see a baby baptised. Even Jesus was mature and about to start his vocation/ministry when he got baptised.
Do I become a Christian when I get baptised?
No, you believe first and then you get baptised. Baptism does not make you a believer, we baptise believers.
