WATER BAPTISM
Church in Hutto, Texas
Baptism (baptizō)
Baptism is a sacred Christian ritual symbolizing one's public declaration of faith in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. It is an outward expression of an inward transformation, reflecting the believer's response to the gift of salvation through grace, not as a means to earn it. By being immersed in water, the individual identifies with Christ's death, burial, and resurrection, emerging from the waters as a new creation, devoted to living a life honoring God.
