Mark 16;16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved
What is baptism? Baptism is burial by water a representation of Christ death and burial..as we are now dead to sin and alive in Christ. On the day of Pentecost Peter told the ones who asked what it took to be saved " Repent ye, and be baptized everyone of you". This also means we are born again not of the flesh or world but born again to Christ. This is why he died on the cross ...so that we could repent of our sins and be baptized unto him to live and love for him.
Although I was a believer early on in life I was not baptized till I was a Sr. in H.S. I think one should know the meaning behind it, understand it, and be able to repent of their sins and confess them to him before they are baptized. This is the final step on the journey to Christ and his salvation.
If you have been reading my other blog and thought this story is not Christ like then stay tuned because all that is significant for what is coming later when we see forgiveness and salvation.
