dear one, ones baptism by water declares the persons pledge of a clean conscience toward God. it should be done with full trust in God, through Christ's shed blood, that ones sins are forgiven, that there in no other means of approaching God for salvation except through Christ, and that one is symbolically acknowledging their recption of the Gift of God. it is further correctly understood to be only an outward acknowledgment of the inward act of faith to trust Christ and God only for salvation. one must understeand the important essential need for remorse for sin, and repentance from sin. this is the witness that should be known in the church. what the world may understand only the Lord knows. the bottom line is that the world of a persons friends, co-workers, and family hopefully may learn that the person has made a decision: about who Jesus is and to follow His teaching. davev | ||||||
