Why water baptism?

Water baptism is the outward acknowledgement that Jesus died, was buried and rose again. Now you live as God intended, through the resurrected power of God in us. Water baptism is not merely a form of meaningless religious ceremony. It is tremendously powerful and something every believer needs to submit to. We see that Jesus did not tell his disciples to make members, he told them to make disciples. A disciple is a pupil, and a follower. The outward evidence of following Jesus is baptism.

When a person is baptised they are identifying with Christ’s death, burial and resurrection. It is an outward demonstration of what has already taken place inwardly.

Baptism depicts what happens as a result of the Christian’s union with Christ.

• When you go into the water – it symbolises Jesus on the cross.
• When you go under the water it symbolises Jesus death on the cross.
• When he died, you die to the dominating power of the old self-life.
• When you come up out of the water, it symbolises Jesus resurrected life.

Water Baptism is like a burial. You now walk in newness of life. The old life has been left behind or has been buried as you rise from the waters of baptism.
