What pastors are saying
“Baptism is not magic. It's not magical waters that change you. It's not a work that makes you a Christian. Baptism is the sign and expression of the faith of a Christian.”
“Jesus humbles himself in baptism, and then it is God who exalts him. It is the Father who vindicates him.”
“We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.”
“Baptism is not faith competing with grace; rather, it is faith responding to grace.”
“The sign of the cross is not the most evil thing in the world, because the whole point of it is to remember your baptism.”
