“When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water…and suddenly a voice came from heaven saying, “This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased.”
Matt. 3:16-17
What must I do to be baptized?
“Confessing their sins, they were baptized by him in the Jordan River.”
Matt. 3:6
Baptism comes after conviction of sin, repentance of sin and confessing Christ as Lord and Savior.
If I was baptized as a child, do I need to be baptized again?
“Repent and be baptized…” Acts 2:38
Note: The first step is to repent. The second step is to be baptized. A child needs to be able to comprehend that they have sinned and need a Savior and then repent of their sins. Baptism is the public expression of that commitment.
