Some questions to consider . . .
Why do we practice baptism of believers?
Because Christ commands it.
Matt. 28:19-20
Baptism gives a public testimony of my faith in Jesus Christ.
Acts 18:8
What is the meaning of baptism?
It illustrates Christ’s Death, Burial and Resurrection.
1 Cor. 15:3-4
It illustrates one’s New Life as a Christian.
Colossians 2:12

Acts 10:47-48
Baptism does not “save” you, only God’s grace through faith in Christ saves.

Why be baptized by immersion?
Immersion gives weight and value to the symbolism of Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection! The examples in Scripture strongly imply immersion rather than any other mode:
Jesus was baptized that way.
Matthew 3:16
Every example of a baptism in the New Testament was by immersion.

of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.”
