Baptisms

For we died and were buried with Christ by baptism. And just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glorious power of the Father, now we also may live new lives. (Romans 6:4)

Water baptism is a symbol that has a powerful meaning. It’s the outward sign of an inward work of salvation, by the Holy Spirit, and another step in marking your new journey of faith. It’s also a time where you show others around you that you have been made new through Jesus.

What is Water Baptism?

Water baptism is simply another step in your christian journey and at Lighthouse Fellowship, we believe that our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, is expressed by calling on His name through water baptism. (Matthew 28:19; Acts 2:38, 8:12, 16, 36-38, 10:48, 16:33, 19:5, 22:16; Mark 16:16; Romans 6:4; Colossians 2:12)

While you will physically be immersed in water, it is a symbolic action representing your old sinful life being washed clean because of your faith in Jesus.

When you make the decision to be baptised by water, you are simply saying, “I believe in Jesus and I’ve decided to live a new life in Him” which you would pursue through learning more about his word and allowing his spirit to empower you to live a life that pleases him.

How do I know I am ready for water baptism?

Contrary to popular belief, God doesn’t require perfection to become a christian, but someone with an open and willing heart. While for some, doubt and the feeling of inadequecy will come, this is when we would urge not to lean on these thoughts, but to continue in your walk to get baptised.

If you are thinking of getting baptised, but unsure of where to start, why not join our Next Steps course, where we will take you through what it means to be a christian.
