Water baptism is a public declaration that you have placed your faith in Jesus Christ.
It symbolizes your identification with His death, burial, and resurrection, and your commitment to follow Him as Lord.
Baptism does not save us. Salvation comes by God's grace through faith in Jesus Christ. Baptism is an act of obedience that publicly declares the new life God has already given us.
“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 walk in newness of life.”
Romans 6:4
