IT’S TIME TO GET BAPTIZED!

AN OUTWARD EXPRESSION OF AN INWARD DECISION

After you’ve made the decision to follow Jesus, it’s time to get baptized! Baptism is a public declaration of that decision, and it’s something we want to celebrate with you!

Jesus was baptized, and he wants each of us to follow in his footsteps and be baptized, too. Here at Reality Church, we believe baptism is an important step in your faith journey, and we encourage anyone who has accepted Jesus to declare your faith through baptism! If you’re ready to take this next step, don’t wait! Sign up for our next baptism at Reality Church on November 22nd!

I WANT TO GET BAPTIZED

“I SHOULD GET BAPTIZED IF…”

HOW TO KNOW IF YOU SHOULD GET BAPTIZED

  • I believe that Jesus died on the cross and forgave me of my sins. He is my Savior and I want to live my life following Him!

  • I follow Jesus, but never made a public declaration of my faith in Him.

  • It’s time! I have waited long enough, and I’m ready to take the plunge.

  • I need to follow in the footsteps of Jesus & be obedient to what He said.

  • I’m ready to renew my commitment to following Jesus because I better understand the call to baptism now.

ABOUT BAPTISM

  • Jesus wants each of us who follow him to be baptized, so each of us can accept what Jesus did for us personally.

    Baptism was never meant to be a chore or box to check as something we do for Jesus. It’s supposed to be a way to celebrate and identify with what Jesus did for us!

    Jesus himself was water-baptized, and he commanded all of his followers to follow in his footsteps.

    “Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.” Matthew 28:19

    For scripture references regarding baptism see:

    Matthew 28:18-20

    Acts 2:37-39

    Romans 6:4-5

    Matthew 3:13-17

    Baptism is the immersion of a believer in water into the name of the triune God. It is a visual and symbolic demonstration of a person’s union with Christ in the likeness of His death and resurrection. Baptism signifies that a person’s former way of life has been put to death and depicts a release from their slavery to sin

  • Being baptized is an act of faith and obedience. Baptism doesn’t make you any more saved; it’s a public expression of your newfound faith. It’s identifying with the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus, symbolizing the promise that the old is gone and the new is here.

  • The gospel is the message of salvation by grace alone, through faith alone. We are more conformed to the image of Christ as we obey Him in the call to be baptized. While baptism is a command from Christ Himself, and is an important step in the discipleship process, He alone does the saving work of salvation.

  • Reality Church baptizes children who are of age to comprehend what it means to accept Christ as their Savior and the essential step that water baptism is in their Christian walk.
