Why be baptized by immersion?
Jesus was baptized this way (Matthew 3:16). Every baptism described in the Bible was by immersion (Acts 8:38–39). Going under and coming out of the water pictures burial and resurrection to new life (Romans 6:4).

Should you be baptized?
Every person who has believed in Christ should make their decision public through baptism. When you are ready to bury your old life and be raised in Christ’s life, you are ready to be baptized.
Why should I be baptized?
To follow Jesus’ example (Mark 1:9), obey his command (Matthew 28:19–20), and show publicly that you belong to him (Acts 18:8; 1 John 2:3).
What is the meaning of baptism?
Baptism illustrates Christ’s death and resurrection (1 Corinthians 15:3–4; Colossians 2:12). It does not make you a believer or save you. It is an outward sign of the faith and new life Christ has already given you (Ephesians 2:8–9).
