Belief 15 of 28 · Doctrines of the Church

Baptism

By baptism we confess our faith in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ and testify that we have died to sin and risen to walk in newness of life. Baptism is by immersion, follows repentance and instruction in Scripture, and is administered by those duly authorized.

Romans 6:4

We were buried therefore with him through baptism to death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life.
