We had the most amazing church service last night! We had a huge baptism service and 120 people got baptized! INCLUDING MY BABY OWEN! It's amazing what God can do if you just give HIM the chance.
Water baptism is the ordinance representing the identification of the Christian with the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. You are "crucified" (standing upright in water), you are "buried" (immersed into the water), and you are "resurrected into life" (raised out of the water). Water baptism then, is a picture of spiritual baptism as defined in Rom. 6:3-5 and 1 Corinthians 12:13. It is the outward testimony of the believer's inward faith. A sinner is saved the moment he places his faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Baptism is a visible testimony to that faith.
