The Lord’s purpose in bringing people into the Kingdom is not just to take us to heaven, but to transform the world around us. Water baptism is one of the most common practices in the whole tradition of Christianity. It is not merely a religious ritual; Jesus commanded we repent and be baptized.

If you were baptized before you received Jesus, you need to be baptized now.
