Meaning
Baptism
Baptism is an act of obedience that visibly marks identification with Jesus in His death and resurrection. It does not replace faith, but it does witness to faith before the church and the world.
Why it matters
Baptism connects belief to public obedience and helps believers see their faith as something embodied, communal, and visible.
