Back in September after a month long outreach 3 teens accepted Christ as their Savior one night after youth group. Josh got the honor and priveledge of Baptizing them today!
Baptism is the outward expression of an inward decision to follow Jesus Christ. It is the first step of obedience in one's relationship with Jesus Christ, and is an ordinance of the church by which a person publicly identifies oneself with Jesus Christ. It does not save you nor does it complete your salvation, rather it is a symbolic illustration of the forgiveness and cleansing that Christ provided for you in His death and resurrection. Therefore baptism follows one's profession of faith in Jesus Christ.
