Water baptism, as taught in the Word of God, is by immersion (Acts 8:38).  We recognize it as a voluntary act by a believer as a public confession of his/her identification in the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and his/her desire and intention to walk in newness of life in Christ (Rom. 6:4).

Water baptism is not a requirement for salvation, as some teach, but is an act of obedience for those who have already trusted in the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Saviour.  It is an outward testimony to the world of the individual's faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and of their desire to be identified in the world as a follower of Him.
