April 13: The Great Commission
Length: 1 m 30s
I am amazed at how many believers think that water baptism is optional because Scripture never presents it as an option. Certainly it doesn’t save us, but it is, in fact, the first step of obedience for a believer who wants to become a disciple. Jesus commanded that we receive water baptism in Matthew 28:19.

I do wonder about water baptism and its relevance today. Personally I have been baptized twice😃😃 – one by pouring water on my head at about 10yrs old and another by full immersion. I do think it is a significant statement faith. Is there a reason we don’t see it practised as much these days? I would like to know how other people view water baptism.
It unveils another perspective of baptism. I used to think of baptism only in terms of the dipping but this clearly shows that baptism is much more than that. There is the permeation of the life of God into our lives as we get immersed into the life of Christ.
