Baptism
Water Baptism Mark 1:4 - And so John came, baptizing in the desert region and preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. Water Baptism is a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. We do not conduct infant baptism since there is no repentance. Water Baptism is not a requirement of salvation but it is a commandment of God that we want to obey. It is a public declaration of our faith to our family, other people as well as to the devil.
This English word has been taken directly from the Greek word 'baptizo' which means to dip, plunge, or completely immerse in liquid. It is used in Greek in the art of dyeing. In order to dye material, it has to be completely dipped into the dye, so that the material is wholly changed in colour.
The use of this word throughout the New Testament makes it clear that sprinkling or pouring water is not sufficient. Scriptural baptism requires a complete immersion in water. So we read of Philip when he baptised the Ethiopian eunuch, "They went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptised him." (Acts 8:38) The Significance Of Baptism 1. Washing away, cleansing 3. We are united by baptism into Christ 4. A change of masters - a call to separation If you have questions about Baptism, you may contact the church at info@lifelink.sg .
