We believe in believer’s baptism. Baptism is a picture and an illustration – a symbolic act. Baptism by immersion best illustrates the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ on our behalf and our subsequent faith in Him. It is not necessary for salvation but is strongly associated with salivation, as it best illustrates our new identity with Jesus Christ. A person must first exercise faith is Jesus Christ, believing that he died for their sins, was buried and rose from the dead. An infant or a person who does not understand God’s plan of salvation cannot make that kind of commitment. The scriptural order is belief first, followed by baptism. Baptism is limited to those who have personally believed in Christ as the Savior.
