Welcome to the Christian world @dariuszhunter. So proud of you and your commitment to follow Jesus. Today, many churches sprinkle infants on the head and call it baptism. This is not the baptism of the Bible. When the Bible speaks of baptism it tells us of adult men and women who make a deliberate choice. They wanted to obey the Lord Jesus and be baptized. They were completely covered in water. This is the baptism of Bible times. Baptism is your personal testimony to, and the inward assurance of, your passage from the old life to the new life….
When you are baptized, you are in fact visually preaching the gospel. As you stand in the water waiting to be baptized, A, you symbolize Jesus dying on the cross. As you are lowered into the water, B, you symbolize Jesus buried in the tomb. As you are raised from the water, C, you symbolize Jesus rising from the dead.
And since you personally are being baptized, you are also saying, “I died with Jesus Christ, I was buried with him and now I am raised with Christ to brand-new life.”
