Water baptism is something that Jesus asked all of His followers to do as an example of their allegiance to Him.  The concept of it is often times misconstrued, as one isn’t “forgiven of sin” through baptism, but simply revealing the fact that they have found forgiveness in Christ through the repentance of their sins.  In fact, the only thing needed to be “qualified” for water baptism is you’ve received forgiveness of sin through faith in Christ.

Why Be Water Baptized?
Back in the days when Jesus began calling people to follow Him, He was doing something pretty substantial.  You see, when someone became a follower of Jesus, that meant that they were no longer a follower of [insert current national authority].  For example, when Caesar Augustus was King, the money created with his name on it said “Caesar is Lord.”  He claimed divinity, and his nation was called to worship him as such.  Baptism “in Christ” was a sign that someone was literally switching teams, no longer offering allegiance to Caesar, but instead to Jesus Christ.  It makes sense why so much controversy was stirred up when Jesus entered the scene.  He wasn’t calling people to like him, but to ditch their previous allegiance to the current king and make Him their ultimate King.

Have you switched teams?  Have you recognized your sinful nature, gone to Christ for forgiveness, and placed your allegiance & faith in Jesus Christ?  Is Jesus YOUR King?  If so, reveal that choice to your friends, family, and the world through water baptism!
