Baptism
A public expression of your faith in Jesus – showing the world you’re all in as His follower.
Baptism is a meaningful way to publicly express you believe Jesus has done everything necessary for your salvation. By getting baptized, you are letting others know Jesus has changed your life and you now live for him!
What is baptism?
Jesus was baptized. Since then, millions of his followers have followed his example. Baptism is a way for you to do the same and participate in a common experience with Jesus followers around the world.
Baptism is a way to go public with your faith to show others that you have started a personal relationship with Jesus.
While baptism isn’t necessary for salvation, it a symbol of the new life you began when you started following Jesus. Going under the water represents your old life dying and coming out of the water symbolizes your new life.
I was baptized before, should I be baptized again?
If you were baptized as a baby or before you personally trusted in Christ, then yes—we believe baptism as a believer is the next step. But if you were already baptized as a believer somewhere else, you don’t need to be baptized again at BridgePoint.
Does baptism forgive my sins?
No—it’s trusting Jesus that forgives your sins. Baptism is your public declaration that you’ve made the decision to trust Him. Baptism is an outward act that symbolizes an inward commitment.
