It is a biblical act of obedience following the great commission of Jesus Christ.

What is Water Baptism?
Water baptism is the biblical act of fully immersing in water as a public sign of your new life in Christ. It is a symbolic act showing identification with the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
✅ Symbol of the Death, Burial, and Resurrection of Christ – Baptism represents your identification with Christ’s death (buried with Him), His resurrection (raised to new life).
✅ Obedience to Christ’s Command – Jesus Himself was baptized, and He commanded all believers to follow this example (Matthew 28:19).
✅ A Step of Faith and Obedience – Baptism is an act of faith that comes after salvation, demonstrating your commitment to Jesus Christ.
