The Ordinances
Baptism is an outward expression of an inward faith. Baptism in no way saves a person from their sins. It can be likened to a wedding ring worn by a bride or groom. The wedding ring is an outward expression; the ring itself does not make a person married.
Scriptural baptism is a total immersion in water. Lowering into the water signifies identification with Christ’s death. Coming up out of the water signifies identification with Christ’s resurrection.
If baptism doesn’t save, why should a person get baptized? There are many reasons. Only a few will be covered.
The other ordinance left to Christ’s church is the Lord’s Supper. Some call it Holy Communion. The Lord’s Supper is a memorial service. The bread is symbolic of the body of Christ which is broken for us. The grape juice represents the blood of Christ, which was shed for the remission of our sins. The Lord’s Supper is observed as an act of worship and commitment. (Matthew 26:26-34; Mark 14:22-25; Luke 22:14-23)
