Water Baptism
You may ask, “What is Water Baptism all about?” Well the Bible clearly teaches that Baptism is one of the first steps of obedience after making a commitment to Christ. Baptism allows a believer to communicate to the world his or her heart-felt commitment to Christ. Some ask additional questions such as: Why should I be Baptized? What does it mean? Should I be sprinkled or dunked? The following questions can be answered by taking a few minutes to read the points and visit the links below.
