Subscribe to Every Post:Be Baptized
John the Baptist called people to be baptized after they repented, Jesus taught his disciples to baptize people after they repented, and the early church commanded people to “repent and be baptized.”
Baptism is for everyone who repents and places faith in Jesus.
Later in January we are having a get together with the four house churches I coach, and we are going to have a baptism and parent/child dedication event. Many of the house churches are performing baptisms and doing dedications on their own as well.
However, for those who would like to do this publicly in our Sunday morning service, instead, we will be offering this during the last Sunday of the year. This Sunday (12/14) is the last day to sign up for either. To do this you can contact Sue Heckley at sheckley@gracegathering.com.
Whether baptism takes place during a service or within the context of a house church, the most important thing is that people get baptized and follow Jesus’ command. If you would like to read a short Bible study on baptism, click here.
