Baptism
What is baptism?
We believe that baptism is an outward and public declaration of faith in Jesus Christ. When one is baptized "in the name of Christ" you declare your identification to Him, specifically in His death, burial, and resurrection (Romans 6:1-10; Colossians 2:11-12). Baptism is not a condition of being saved, but is is an obedient response to the command of Christ (Matthew 28:18-20).
Can I be baptized more than once?
Some people may have been baptized as infants. We believe in a believer's baptism where a person consciously trusts in Christ for the forgiveness of sins, recognizing the forgiveness He offers through His death and resurrection. Baptism is a conscious decision made by one who has already trusted Christ as personal Saviour (Acts 8:12). In the case of one having been baptized as an infant and subsequently coming to personally trust in Christ, we would allow for a "second" baptism.
What about rededication?
In the event of one rededicating his or her life to Christ, we rejoice with you in your renewed commitment to the Lord and we celebrate with you! But there is no need to be re-baptized. The New Testament does not give us any examples of Christians being baptized multiple times. However, we would love to walk with you through a process of renewing your commitment and continuing to grow as a follower of Christ. Please share your rededication story below.
