The Biblical Foundation

Baptism is a sacred ordinance established by Jesus Christ. In Matthew 28:19, Jesus commanded His disciples: "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit."

"Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life."
— Romans 6:4
