Baptism is a public statement of alignment of our life with Christ’s. By entering the waters of baptism, one makes visible and tangible the inner commitment to sharing in the death and life of Jesus. Baptism is a commitment to obedience, one of two ordinances or sacraments given to us by Christ Himself.
