Baptism - A sacrament or a membership
initiation?
Actually it’s a command of
God. An act of obedience of a believer who desires to obey his Lord.
Baptism doesn't make a Christian. But a Christian needs to
be baptized. It’s a step that needs to be taken by an individual who already had
a full understanding of it, next to having assurance of salvation. A phase, if being
understood and lived by, would take into effect and make a lifetime difference. Old life buried and new life begins. Being dead to sin and alive to Christ!
And this day, I decided to follow, and will never be turning
back. I am aware that things are not gonna be the same, especially being the
only follower in the family. Stormy and rocky path surely awaits me; even so, I
am with my sweet Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, my ray of sunshine in every
endeavor from this time forth and forevermore.
My rollercoaster ride has just begun!
Romans 6:3~4
“Don’t you know
that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus
were baptized into his death?
We were therefore
buried with him through baptism into death in order that,
just as Christ
was raised from the dead through
the glory of the Father,
we too may live a new life.”
