BAPTISM

Baptism at Journey is an opportunity to celebrate someones decision to publicly announce to the world that they want to be identified with Jesus Christ’s death and resurrection from the cross.

It is a sacred and time-honored expression passed down from Jesus, Himself, to demonstrate that you believe living like Jesus is the best way to live. Just as Jesus died on a cross, was buried after he died, and was resurrected from death, baptism by water shows our commitment to die to our old way of life, burying that life, and resurrecting into a new way of living.

Jesus came and told his disciples, I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age. Matthew 28:18-20

It does not make you a believer, it is for people who already believe. It also does not save you. Only faith in Jesus Christ to forgive our sins can do that.

If you have committed to living like Jesus and have faith that He is God and that He rose from the dead so that you can be forgiven of your sins, we would love to celebrate this expression of faith with you.

If you have questions, Pastor Mark would love to talk with you. Feel free to ask any questions or schedule a time to sit down and talk about this important life step by emailing us at info@journeychattanooga.com.
