Who should be water baptized?
Those who have personally placed faith in Jesus Christ
(Romans 10:9-10)
When should I be water baptized?
As soon as you decide to follow Jesus, baptism is the next step. There is no reason to delay.
(Acts 8:12)
What is full-immersion water baptism?
The Greek word from which we get the word baptism is “baptism”, which literally means “to immerse.” All water baptisms in scripture were by full immersion. Jesus was water baptized by being fully immersed in the water and rising out of it.
(Matthew 3:16, Mark 1:10, Acts 8:38-39)
Who can perform baptisms?
The Great Commission applies to all believers and teaches that we are to make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. In the same way that there is no required class to be baptized, there is no requirement to baptize someone other than to be a believer and follower. Jesus himself was baptized by John, showing the authority to baptize is given to all Christians.
(Matthew 3:13-17, Matthew 28:18-20)
