Baptism is an outward sign of an inward change. When you are saved through faith in Jesus, this is the next step. Jesus said "Whoever acknowledges me before others, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven." When you are baptized, you are identifying with Jesus who died (symbolically going under the water) and rose again (symbolically coming up out of the water).
Jesus was baptized and commands us to be baptized as well. And you can be sure, when you openly declare Jesus as your Lord and Savior through baptism, you are obeying God.
At Highway, we require every individual that wants to be baptized to take a one time class with one of our pastors. This is an important step and we want to make sure everyone baptized is celebrated and encouraged in this process!
