BAPTIZE??? ME??? Yes You... First command of Christ. Be baptized, as a public show of the disciples commitment to Christ. This is often missed or not stressed when a person is baptized. The act of baptism is a public declaration of ones identification as a disciple to Jesus Christ. It is the picture of the death of sin in a believers life. When we baptize a new believer we say, Buried with Him in baptism, raised to walk in the newness of live. The statement is based on Romans 6:4 which says, Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
