Pagpapakita ng Iyong Pananampalataya
Ang ibig sabihin ng pagpa-Baptize ay paglulubog sa tubig. Sa Bible, maraming tao ang nagpa-baptize para ipakita na nag-decide sila na baguhin ang buhay nila. Nagpapa-baptize ang mga Christians bilang pagsunod kay Jesus, at pagpapakita sa mga tao na sila ay naniniwala kay Jesus.
Ang Baptism sa Bible
(13) Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John.
(14) But John tried to deter him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?”
(15) Jesus replied, “Let it be so now; it is proper for us to do this to fulfill all righteousness.” Then John consented.
(16) As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on him.
(17) And a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.”

(13) When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins,
