How we Baptize
Baptism in Jesus’ Name
In the book of Acts, chapter 2, we read a pivotal moment in the early church. When the crowd, convicted by Peter’s preaching, asked, “Men and brethren, what shall we do?” Peter responded with a clear command: “Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins…” (Acts 2:37–38).
This instruction was not merely symbolic — it was the God-given plan for salvation. The book of Acts, named for recording the actions of the Apostles, provides us with consistent examples of baptism. In every account, new believers were immersed in water, calling on the saving name of Jesus Christ.
The Scriptures reinforce this truth throughout the New Testament. Colossians 3:17 reminds us, “Whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus.” And Acts 4:12 proclaims, “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.”
Water baptism, then, is not an optional step but an essential one. It is a vital part of salvation, reconciliation, and the promise of eternal life. Through baptism in Jesus’ name, we enter into covenant with Him, our sins are washed away, and we rise to walk in newness of life.
Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost
We Believe in
One God
It is a well-established truth that the Old Testament is emphatically monotheistic. In Deuteronomy 6:4 the Bible declares: “Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD.” Again, in Exodus 20:1–3, Moses records the words of God to the children of Israel:
“And God spake all these words, saying, I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt have no other gods before me.”
The prophet Isaiah reaffirms this in chapter 44: “Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God.”
When we turn to the New Testament, we find Jesus making the same declaration. In Revelation 22:13 He says: “I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.” In this, Jesus is revealing that He is the very same God spoken of in the Old Testament.
Hebrews 13:8 confirms His eternal nature: “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever.” Likewise, James 1:17 reminds us that “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.” Unlike earthly things that shift and cast shadows, God is constant, unchanging, and perfectly good. His nature does not fluctuate, and His promises never fail.
God has never changed, and He wanted us to understand clearly who He was, and who He still is today. The Almighty Himself came down from the throne of heaven, robed in flesh, and died on a cross for our sins so that we might take up our cross and follow Him. As He said, “I wish that none would perish, but that all would come unto repentance.”
What the Bible
Teaches About Faith
From the pages of Scripture, we learn that believing God and His Word is essential. Without faith, no one will ever take the first step toward salvation. Faith is not optional — it is the absolute prerequisite for coming to God.
Yet the Bible also shows us that faith is more than mental belief or intellectual agreement. Simply acknowledging truth is not enough to bring salvation from sin. True faith moves beyond the mind and takes root in the heart, producing obedience and trust in God.
The Bible gives us a clear and powerful definition of faith in Hebrews 11:1: “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Faith anchors us in hope, gives reality to what we cannot yet see, and becomes the driving force that leads us to walk with God.
Faith in Action
Hebrews 11, often called the “faith chapter,” provides us with vivid examples of what real faith looks like.
By faith, Noah prepared an ark, obeying God’s warning about things not yet seen (Hebrews 11:7). His faith led him to action, and through it his family was saved.
By faith, Abraham obeyed God’s call to leave his homeland and go to a place he had never seen, trusting in God’s promise (Hebrews 11:8). His faith required surrender and obedience, and through it he became the father of many nations.
By faith, Moses chose to identify with God’s people rather than enjoy the temporary pleasures of Egypt (Hebrews 11:24–25). His faith gave him courage to endure trials and to lead Israel out of bondage.
These examples remind us that genuine faith always produces obedience. Faith is not passive; it acts, it moves, and it submits to God’s will.
