Baptism & The Lord's Supper

Baptism and the Lord's Supper

We believe that Christian baptism is the immersion in water of a believer (Acts 8:36-39; Matt 3:5-6; John 3:22-23; John 4:1-2; Matt 28:19; Mark 16:16; Acts 2:38; Acts 8:12; Acts 16:32-34; Acts 18:8), into the name of the Father, and Son, and Holy Spirit (Matt 28:19; Acts 10:47-48; Gal 3:27-28). This demonstrates, in a solemn and beautiful emblem, our faith in the crucified, buried, and risen Savior, with its effect in our death to sin and resurrection to a new life (Rom 6:4; Col 2:12; 1 Pet 3:20-21; Acts 22:16). Baptism is prerequisite to the privileges of church membership and the Lord’s Supper* (Acts 2:41-42; Matt 28:19-20; Acts and Epistles) in which the members of the Church, by the sacred use of bread and wine, are to remember together the dying love of Christ (1 Cor 11:26; Matt 26:26-29; Mark 14:22-25; Luke 22:14-20); preceded always by solemn self-examination (1 Cor 11:28; 1 Cor 5:1,8; 1 Cor 10:3-32; 1 Cor 11:17-32; John 6:26-71).
