Several Christians have had several notions about what water baptism is all about. Nevertheless, I will share my thoughts on this topic today.
Water Baptism

Before I begin properly, lets quickly consider the following scriptures.
The book of Romans 6 vs 4 says that;
4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
Likewise, the book of Mathew 28 vs 19 also says that;
19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Also Reading from Mark 16 vs 16, the Bible also says;
16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
This is the baptism in water done by a born again believer, identifying with Christ in His death, burial and resurrection. Water baptism simply means to be completely immersed in water. The criterion for this baptism is to be saved but it is not what gets you saved.
The Significance Of Water Baptism

In water baptism, we identify with Christ in His death, burial and resurrection. In other words, it is an outward demonstration of an inward transformation.
Call To Action
- In your own word, what do you understand by water baptism and do you think it is necessary to be baptized in water before you can make heaven??.
Patiently waiting your thoughts about this.
