On Sunday, July 4th we will be holding a baptism Sunday. If you have accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and believe that God has raised Him from the dead and you have not been baptized yet, you are ready to be baptized. If you are interested contact Pastor Dave Johnson and he will set up a time to discuss the subject of baptism with you.

I can not think of a more fitting day to be baptized than independence day! In this post we have included some verses about the subject of baptism so that you can more fully understand the importance of this act. Please understand that the act of baptism does not provide salvation. It is only through Christ’s death and resurrection that we are reconciled to God and receive forgiveness for sin. Although baptism does not provide salvation we acknowledge it’s importance as an act that Christ has commanded believers to take part in Mat. 28:19. Please take some time to read through the scriptural data and try to more fully understand this act of joining with Christ!

Matthew 28:19
“19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit…”

Romans 6:3-4
“3 Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4 We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we to might walk in newness of life.”

Galatians 3:27
“27 For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.”

Colossians 2:12
“12 having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the powerful working of God, who raised him from the dead.”
