Baptism not only signifies resurrection to a new life in Christ, but it is also a public commitment to walk in Christ’s way. Baptism means we now belong to Christ.

Have you been considering baptism but not sure what it means?

What is Baptism?

• Baptism is closely linked with belief in the New Testament, and therefore happens at the beginning of someone’s journey as a disciple of Jesus (Acts 2:38-41), and is therefore considered a symbol of initiation into a life of following Jesus with other followers of Jesus.
• We are united with Christ and enjoy all the benefits that come therein (Romans 6:1-11).

Who Should Be Baptized?

• Those who have accepted Christ as their personal Saviour and Lord. Those seeking membership with SCCEFC are required to be baptized as a believer.

Why Should I Be Baptized?

• Believe and baptize are very closely linked. (Acts 2:40-41; 8:36-40; 10:48; 16:15; 16:33). 
• Jesus showed by example that we are to be baptized by being baptized himself (Matthew 3:13-17).
• Baptism is understood to fulfill, in part, the command of Jesus to confess him before humanity (Matthew 10:32).
