Who Should be Baptised?
Baptism is a significant step in the life of a believer, and it's essential to understand who qualifies for this sacred act. At Gospel Assembly Intercontinental, we believe that anyone who has trusted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior is eligible for baptism. This act of obedience is a public declaration of your faith, signifying your commitment to follow Jesus Christ.
Baptism symbolizes the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus and what took place in your heart upon salvation...
- The death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ: Baptism reflects the gospel message, reminding us of the sacrifice Jesus made on our behalf and the victory He achieved through His resurrection.
- Your new life in Christ: As you go under the water, it represents death to your old way of life. Rising again from the water symbolizes your new life in Christ, empowered by the Holy Spirit.
- Forgiveness and cleansing: Baptism illustrates being washed clean from sin, reminding us of God's mercy and forgiveness.
Jesus instructed us to be baptized; it is not necessary for salvation, it demonstrates submission to God. Baptism is an act of obedience, a public declaration of your faith, and a celebration of your new life in Christ. By being baptized, you:
- Identify yourself as a Christ-follower: Baptism is a visible representation of your commitment to follow Jesus Christ.
- Demonstrate your faith: Baptism is an act of obedience, demonstrating your trust in God's Word and His promises.
- Celebrate your new life: Baptism is a joyful celebration of your new life in Christ, marking the beginning of your journey as a disciple of Jesus Christ.
