By being baptized we tell our stories as individual believers. In Matthew 28:19 Jesus commanded His disciples to go throughout the world and to make more disciples. As a sign of their commitment the new disciples were to be baptized in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Peter said in Acts 2:38 “Repent and be Baptized, everyone of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins...” Baptism is the ceremony that tells our spiritual story to the church community as we become part of it.There is a hymn called “Now I belong to Jesus, Jesus belongs to me...”, the act of baptism announces that now we belong to Jesus and walk with Him and He also walks us.
