Baptism is an important milestone in the life of anyone who has consciously chosen to follow Jesus.
It is an opportunity for them to publicly declare their faith in Jesus and commit to follow Him with the entirety of their lives.
Baptism is an outward expression of an inward trust in and love for Jesus. A believer is put under the water, which symbolizes dying to an old way of life. They are then brought up out of the water, symbolizing them resurrecting to a new way of life — lived for Jesus by the power of the Holy Spirit. It is a significant moment to “bury” their old life, old habits, old ways and begin to walk in a new life. In other words, baptism is a visible representation that a person is identifying with the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus (Romans 6:3-5).
