Description

The Bible says Jesus saves. So why do Christians get baptized? I became a Christian in January 2011, then I was baptized four months later. That statement may be confusing to some people. How is that possible? Let's see what the Bible says about that.

Key Points:

1. Faith in Jesus saves us from our sins. Baptism is for a good conscience toward God - I Peter 3:21
2. Baptism symbolizes the death and burial of a sinner, then the resurrection as a new creature in Christ
3. Biblical baptism involves a person being fully submerged in water after he or she hears the gospel, then puts their faith in Jesus.

Additional Reading: Acts 8:24-40
