BAPTISM
We were therefore buried with Him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.
Romans 6:4
Water Baptism
Water baptism is the next step of obedience after making a decision to give your life to Jesus. It is an outward expression of an inward change that publicly declares your commitment to Him.
