Jesus says,
And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
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,
teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?
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 too might walk in newness of life.
What is baptism?
Baptism is an outward sign/testimony of inward work of grace and faith; it is our faith that saves.
For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God,
not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
It is in baptism Christ calls us to new obedience:
to love and trust God completely;
to forsake the evil of the world; and
to live a new and holy life.
The minister addresses the parents or candidates:
Beloved of God,
you stand before us
to receive the sacrament of baptism.
I ask you, therefore, before God and Christ’s church
do you profess your faith in Christ Jesus? Is Jesus your savior and Lord?
Yes, Jesus is my savior and Lord
Why do you want to be baptised today?
