Baptism

Baptism is an important step in a believer’s relationship with God. It is a symbol of identification with the death and resurrection of Jesus and a way of publicly saying that I have repented of my sin and am trusting completely in Christ as my Savior.

What Is Baptism?

1. Baptism is a public declaration that the believer identifies with Christ and has become part of His body, the Church. 2. Baptism is closely linked with belief in the New Testament, and therefore happens at the beginning of someone’s journey as a disciple of Jesus (Acts 2:38-41), and is therefore considered a symbol of initiation into a life of following Jesus with other followers of Jesus. 3. We are united with Christ and enjoy all the benefits that come therein (Romans 6:1-11).

Why Should I Be Baptized?

Jesus himself was baptized by immersion as an example for us that we too are to be baptized (Matthew 3:13-17). The Biblical writers also explains that belief in Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour and baptism are very closely linked (see Acts 2:40-41; 8:36-40; 10:48; 16:15; 16:33).
As such, we believe that baptism is understood to fulfill, in part, the command of Jesus to confess him before humanity (Matthew 10:32).

Who Should Be Baptized?

Believers’ baptism is for those who have repented of their sin and confess Jesus as their personal Saviour and Lord. While the scriptures do not specify an age requirement for baptism, we desire children to be old enough to make a personal profession of faith and to understand and articulate the gospel.

Can Children Be Baptized?

We believe that baptism by immersion is a next step for those who have put their faith in Jesus for the salvation of their sins. Therefore, at PFBC we practice believer's baptism, and believe that children who can articulate their own faith in Christ are eligible for baptism.
If you would like a child's application for baptism, which is meant to be done with an adult at home before bringing it to the church, please reach out to our Children’s Ministry.
