WE THANK GOD FROM WHOM ALL BLESSINGS FLOW

THAT YOU HAVE CHOSEN TO ACCEPT CHRIST

HERE AT SUNRISE BAPTIST CHURCH! BAPTISM.

WATER BAPTISM IS A DECLARATION THAT YOU HAVE DIED TO SIN, SELFISHNESS,

AND THE WORLD’S WAYS AND PUT YOUR FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST AS YOUR

PERSONAL SAVIOR AND LORD (ACTS 2:38). BAPTISM ALSO PUBLICLY IDENTIFIES

US WITH JESUS CHRIST, AS HIS DISCIPLES (HIS FOLLOWERS) AND ACKNOWLEDGES

THE FACT THAT YOU ARE INDEED A CHRISTIAN BELIEVER.

IT IS IMPORTANT TO RECOGNIZE THAT BAPTISM DOES NOT SAVE US; INSTEAD WE

ARE SAVED BY GOD’S GRACE AS WE TRUST IN HIS SON WHO DIED FOR US ON THE

CROSS AND WAS RAISED FROM THE DEAD (ROMANS 10:9-10; EPHESIANS 2:8-10).

TO BE BORN AGAIN MEANS 'TO BE BORN THE SECOND TIME'. A SINNER IS BORN AGAIN AND BECOMES

RIGHTEOUS WHEN HE/SHE IS SAVED SPIRITUALLY BY BELIEVING IN THE BAPTISM OF

JESUS AND THE BLOOD OF JESUS. YOU ARE IN EFFECT SAYING GOODBYE TO YOUR

OLD LIFE (SELF), AND SAYING HELLO TO A NEW CREATION IN CHRIST JESUS WHO

DIED FOR US AND ROSE AGAIN. JOHN 3:5-7 SAYS "EXCEPT A MAN BE BORN OF

WATER AND OF THE SPIRIT, HE CANNOT ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD, THAT

WHICH IS BORN OF THE FLESH IS FLESH; AND THAT WHICH IS BORN OF THE SPIRIT

IS SPIRIT. THEREFORE YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN". THIS IMPORTANT CONCEPT IS

ALSO KNOWN AS THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS. SINS ARE FORGIVEN WHEN WE

BECOME CLEANSED OF ALL SINS ONCE AND FOR ALL THROUGH THE GOSPEL OF THE

WATER AND THE SPIRIT. THE FAITH IN THE GOSPEL OF THE WATER AND THE SPIRIT

IS TO BELIEVE IN A SERIES OF TRUTHS: JESUS CHRIST'S DIVINITY, THE INCARNATION

OF THE SON OF GOD, HIS BAPTISM AND CRUCIFIXION FOR THE SALVATION OF US

ALL, AND HIS RESURRECTION.

BAPTISMS ARE NORMALLY SCHEDULED ON THE FIRST SUNDAY OF

EVERY MONTH.
