Too often it's a mere afterthought. <br /><br />Baptism represents a public declaration that we are now followers of Jesus, of his life, ministry, and teachings. It represents our identification with Him in his death and resurrection. It is a commitment; a commitment by the baptized to follow Christ and submit to His leadership, and a commitment by the rest of the church in "teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness" (2 Tim. 3:16)Jared Tottenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02281732280151894322noreply@blogger.com
