Step 5:
Be Baptized
Responding
in obedience
to what God
has revealed.
Baptism is not a tradition—
it is a command.
It is the point where belief, repentance,
and confession come together in action.
“He who believes and is baptized will be saved…”
— Mark 16:16
What Baptism Is
Baptism is an act of obedience to God.
It is not a symbol we choose—
it is a command we follow.
It is the moment where we submit
to God’s instruction in faith.
Baptism is obedience in action.
“Repent, and let every one of you be baptized…”
— Acts 2:38
Why Baptism Matters
Baptism is not optional.
It is directly connected to salvation,
forgiveness, and entering into Christ.
Scripture does not present it as a suggestion—
but as a necessary response.
This is where we respond fully to the gospel.
“Arise and be baptized, and wash away your sins…”
— Acts 22:16
Reflection:
If this is what God has commanded—am I willing to obey?
What Happens in Baptism
Baptism is where sins are forgiven.
It is where we are united with Christ
in His death, burial, and resurrection.
It is where we begin a new life.
Baptism is where the old life ends
and the new life begins.
“Buried with Him in baptism… raised with Him…”
— Romans 6:3–4
What Baptism Is Not
Baptism is not:
It is not optional
and it is not separate from salvation.
Baptism is not optional—
it is a step of obedient faith.
“There is also an antitype which now saves us—baptism…”
— 1 Peter 3:21
The Response
You’ve heard the truth.
You’ve believed.
You’ve repented.
You’ve confessed Christ.
Now, respond in obedience
Baptism is where faith is expressed in action.
“For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.”
— Galatians 3:27
You are ready to
take this step.
Now walk in it.
Baptism is not the end—
it is the beginning of a new life in Christ.
