The Greater Harvest Church of God In Christ Guide to Baptism

Baptism is an important step in a believer’s journey with God. It is an outward declaration of an inward transformation, signifying a person’s faith in Jesus Christ and their desire to follow Him. At the Greater Harvest Church of God In Christ, we believe in the power of baptism and the impact it can have on a person’s life. If you’re considering baptism, we would be honored to guide you through the process.

Biblical Foundation for Baptism

Baptism is not just a ritual or tradition; it is a commandment from Jesus Christ himself. In Matthew 28:19, Jesus instructs his disciples, “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.” Baptism is an act of obedience and submission to God.

In Acts 2:38, Peter preaches, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” Baptism is a symbol of forgiveness and a new beginning. Through baptism, we are united with Christ in his death and resurrection, and we receive the Holy Spirit to guide us in our journey with God.

Romans 6:3-4 explains the significance of baptism: “Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.” Baptism is a symbol of our old self dying and our new self rising with Christ, empowered by the Holy Spirit to live a transformed life.
