Have you ever wondered why baptism is mentioned so often in religious circles? What's all this talk of Baptism about? What is Baptism?

You're not alone. It is not uncommon for newcomers and others with different religious backgrounds to wonder what is the big deal with baptism.

As some form of the word is used well over a hundred times in the New Testament, by Jesus and His disciples, it must have some real significance.

The news: Baptism is a Big Deal.

Baptism is fundamentally an ordinance. An ordinance that demonstrates the believer's life commitment to Jesus Christ.

Unfortunately, this essential ordinance of Baptism is all too often left on the "back burner" for another time, due to financial and logistical restraints that often characterize today's churches and their places of worship..

Sadly, this is the case despite the fact that recent statisticss clearly suggest that a new believer's walk with Jesus is maintained for the long run most when that new believer is baptized soon after their salvation.

"Therefore go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit." Matthew 28:19
