Baptism Shows New Association
- Baptism is a commanded public declaration showing new association with Jesus, not the means of salvation.
- The Greek baptizo means dip or submerge, so immersion best symbolizes death, burial, and resurrection.

- If you have trusted Jesus but never been baptized, you must be baptized in obedience to Jesus' command.
