Once we have placed our faith in Jesus, he calls us to be baptized. Baptism is an act of identification. Jesus commands us to be baptized because it signifies that we have chosen to identify ourselves with him now, in his death and resurrection. This is why baptism is by immersion, because we go under the water to signify that we have died to sin and self in him, and we come out of the water to signify that we have risen to walk in the newness of life with him. Jesus tells us to be baptized before the church because in identifying with Jesus, we identify with his people and join ourselves with them.
If you have any questions or would like to talk about this further, one of our pastoral staff members would love to meet with you soon.
