How it works
Water Baptism
“Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” —Acts 2:38
When you are baptized in water, it symbolizes that God has washed away your guilt, shame, and all the negative things from your past. By doing this publicly, you make a bold and strong statement to the audience that you are now a believer and follower of Jesus Christ. God has forgiven you of all your sins and you have been given the gift of the Holy Spirit living inside of you! From now on, if you let the Holy Spirit lead your thoughts and actions, and you build a deep relationship with Jesus, you will have the power to live an exemplary life. You will not be perfect, but Jesus is perfect, and He will shine through you!
