Baptism is an outward symbol of an inward change. It's a public declaration that you are following Jesus! Baptism is similar to a wedding ring. It doesn't make you married; it shows everyone around you that you are already married. Baptism doesn't help you earn salvation or any credit with God. Instead, its the first step of obedience for people who put their faith & trust in Jesus. Here at Grace Bible, we baptize by immersion in a pool of water, which is an excellent visual of picture of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, and the new life that you have in Him.
