Why get baptized by immersion?
The answer to this question is simple and clear in the Bible —Jesus commands Christians to identify with Him through the waters of baptism. The Greek word for baptism means to “cover” or to “submerge.” According to the Bible, Baptism is a matter of obedience. Jesus was baptized in the Jordan River to set an example for us.
Baptism is a public announcement that a person has repented and committed their life to Christ as Savior. In this sense it is similar to a graduation ceremony in high school or college. The ceremony itself does not entitle the person to graduate. The ceremony is simply a time to declare what has happened behind the scenes. Likewise, baptism is a time to declare that something important has happened, and that something is when a person has repented and surrendered their life to Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord.
Baptism is commanded of us once we have become a Christian! Listen to how clearly the Bible sets forth the order: repentance first—then baptism.
