Baptism

Baptism was committed by Christ to the Church: Baptism is part of the means that God has given us for receiving his gift of cleansing and salvation. In baptism God "washes away" all sin and imparts his Holy Spirit. Baptism is an anglicized form of the Greek word, baptisma, which literally means immersion or dipping.

Acts 2:38-39; 8:36-39; 22:16  ||  I Peter 3:20-21 ||  Luke 3:3

If you've accepted Christ in a Bara Gathering, somewhere else altogether, maybe even years ago, and you've never been baptized you should be. To anyone who has made a decision to follow Christ, but has never been baptized, let's do it! 

Baptism is more than an outward expression of an inward decision! It's obeying God and identifying with the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus. If you've accepted Christ, we would love to baptize you and share this special decision with you to go public with your faith!

Congratulations, in advance, on taking this step of faith!

BAPTISM STORIES

I had turned into not only a believer of God, but a follower. I wanted to celebrate that and make it known.

I felt the Holy Spirit growing in me and I was getting closer to Christ.

My baptism was crazy. Full of emotions. I was nervous at first and then after I came up from the water I just felt refreshed and joyful.

Making the choice to get baptized was the best choice I have ever made. I have been redeemed of my sins and my new life with Christ has been the most amazing thing I've ever endured.

Baptism, for me, was the final step in giving myself to my Father, a way to show Him and the people close to me that I'm willing to dedicate the life He gave me to glorifying His name and following in Christ's ways.

I felt God speak to me and impact my life in ways he never has before and that's when I knew I wanted to rededicate my life to Him.

It was life changing, It's hard to describe the happiness.

I was excited, but very nervous too. Sitting in the tub, I was tense and anxious and then when I was dunked I could feel the adrenaline flowing through my veins. It was awesome.
