In the practice of water baptism by immersion as a believer’s public declaration of his/her identification with Jesus Christ and of his/her new relationship with God through faith. It is a New Testament ordinance, done in obedience to our Lord’s command, and though very important is not a means of salvation. Infant baptism which also has no regenerative value is not encouraged. We do encourage parents to dedicate their children to the Lord in a public worship service.
