About Salvation
Salvation is God’s free gift to us but we must accept it. We can never make up for our sin by self-improvement or good works. Only by trusting in Jesus Christ as God’s offer of forgiveness can anyone be saved from sin’s penalty. When we turn from our self-ruled life and turn to Jesus in faith we are saved.
Baptism
Baptism provides a reasonable test of our faith in Christ. It also provides a needed vehicle for expression of that faith. It provides a common experience for unity. It is a meaningful symbol of the cleansing available in Christ. Baptism is something everyone who accepts the Lordship of Christ should want to do
