Baptism

Baptism is the public celebration of your personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

WHY DO WE BAPTIZE?

Because Jesus was baptized and asks us to follow His example:
 “Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.  Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.”  (Matthew 28:18-20a)

DOES BAPTISM “SAVE” ME?

Baptism does not gain us any extra favor with God.  Baptism is done in obedience to Christ. It is merely an outward, public expression of our relationship with Jesus Christ.

HOW DOES WASHINGTON HEIGHTS CHURCH BAPTIZE?

The original word in the Bible for baptized is “baptizo” and its specific meaning is “to  immerse in a body of water.”  So we do just that.
