Believer's Baptism is one of the most important steps in the life of a Christ follower. I strongly believe that the Bible teaches this as a practice that we should continue. You can find the teaching of this in several places, including:
- At the end of Peter's message in Acts 2, he calls those who have made a commitment to Christ to be baptized.
- The Ethiopian Eunich in Acts 8
- Saul's conversion on the road to Damascus in Acts 9
- Cornelius in Acts 10
- Jesus' own baptism
- Jesus' teaching in Matthew 28:18-20
- Paul's teaching about baptism in Romans and other letters.
So if you have made a decision to follow Christ and have never been baptized as a believer, you should strongly consider doing so. Baptism doesn't 'save' you, but it is a strong public prounouncement that all believers are called to make.
If you would like to be baptized, our next baptism is on Sunday, 9/23 at 3pm. Give Kevin Salyer a call at Kevin at powhatancommunitychurch dot org.
