The importance of believer's baptism

Crispus, the leader of the synagogue, believed in the Lord with all his household, and many of the Corinthians when they heard were believing and being baptized.
Acts 18:8

One brief last thought on this encouraging verse: Those who heard and believed were baptized. Friends, baptism is important.

Baptism is important because it is commanded (Matthew 28:18-20, Acts 2:38).

Baptism is important because it is an outward physical symbol of an inward spiritual reality, namely that the person is saved! That is why we believe only believers are to be baptized. The symbol without the reality lacks meaning.

Baptism is important because it is a public testimony of a believer’s faith in Christ. That is why it is so wonderful when non-believing family and friends attend a person’s baptism.

Of you are a believer and have not been baptized as a believer, let’s talk.
