Hi all, I was baptized today and wanted to encourage everyone here to learn about the Gospel and what is involved. There are many different Christian faiths, but the key to understanding the Gospel involves three things...repent, baptism and salvation. Repent or returning from your sin is the hardest one for most people, as living without sin or trying not to sin is truly difficult. Baptism is the symbolic removal of sin via immersion with Christs blessing. Salvation is the concept of accepting Jesus as your personal savior and understanding that it comes through him. This is just a snippet of the ideas involved but I cannot recommend enough researching these topics learning for yourself. God Bless, V.

By asserting this, you are saying that what Jesus did was not enough to save you and that YOU must do something to partake in your salvation (baptism.) While baptism is good and believers should be baptized, it has nothing to do with one's actual salvation. It's an insult to God to say His gift is not sufficient.
Is the baptism of Christ a work of God or of men?
Of course, Jesus gave instructions to baptize in the name of the Father, Son & the HOLY SPIRIT
