A GUIDE TO UNDERSTANDING BAPTISM AS A DEFINING COMMITMENT FOR DISCIPLESWe reach a point where we want to fully surrender our lives to Jesus as our saving king. How do we do that? Baptism is God's method of pledging our faith to Jesus, receiving his forgiveness and the power of the Holy Spirit as we come out of the water committed to live as His disciples. People seem to know that baptism is tied to God's renewal plan for our lives. The authors help you understand exactly why baptism, for the disciple of Jesus, is like the wedding ceremony for those who get married. Though the Bible is pretty clear on baptism-over time and through various religious traditions, baptism has become a controversial topic.
