The Covenant of Baptism
Baptism is a sacred act of obedience and a powerful symbol of transformation. It is an outward expression of an inward change—a public declaration that you have accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. Baptism represents dying to your old life and being raised to new life in Christ. As Acts 2:38 commands, baptism in the name of Jesus Christ is for the remission of sins, marking a significant step in the believer’s journey of faith.
​
At Holy Ground Church, we uphold baptism as a covenant with God, where we align ourselves with His purpose and receive His grace. This act reflects the example set by Jesus and the Apostles, as described in Matthew 28:19 and Romans 6:3-4. Baptism is a declaration of leaving behind the past and stepping into the newness of life in Christ’s love and power.
The Significance of Baptism
​
Baptism is not just a ritual—it is a vital part of salvation and a sign of your commitment to God. It is the moment when your faith is proclaimed publicly and your sins are symbolically washed away, leaving you renewed and ready to follow Jesus wholeheartedly.
