Why get Baptized?
Because you want to follow Christ’s example (Mark 1:9), and Jesus told all believers to do it and set an example by being baptized (Matthew 28:19-20). Baptism is an opportunity to identify ourselves with the Savior and show the world that you are a follower of Christ!
1 John 2:3, Acts 18:8
What is the meaning of Baptism?
It is a symbol of Christ’s death, burial and resurrection and it is a symbol of your new life as a Christian.
1 Corinthians 15:3-4, II Corinthians 5:17
Who should get Baptized?
Every person that believes in Christ. The one and only requirement for baptism is that you believe in Christ.
Acts 8:13
When should I be Baptized?
As soon as you have believed! You shouldn’t put it off!
Acts 2:41, Acts 8:35-38
Do you Baptize Children?
LOH does not baptize children until they are old enough to understand and believe. Baptism follows a personal decision to follow Christ and trust Jesus for their salvation. If you are unsure if your child is ready to be baptized, we recommend watching this video with them and having a conversation together. If you have more question, reach out to their Shine Kids leader.
