Getting water baptized is a natural step in the growth of a follower of Jesus, who set an example for us by getting baptized himself before starting his ministry.
Water baptism is the external expression of what has already happened inside your heart. Here's why:
We fully immerse each individual in water, which symbolizes going down into a grave. A part of trusting Jesus for the forgiveness of your sins and eternal life is dying to yourself (your own wants and desires) and putting God first.
Jesus died for all of humanity and was himself put in a grave, so you are identifying with his death through baptism.This also means that you can take part in his resurrection, because Jesus didn't stay in the grave! When we 'dunk' people we don't leave them under the water, just like Jesus has not left us in death, but by coming back out of the water you are identifying with the new life that only Jesus can give you. (We are also not into drowning people!)
Water is used to clean and when you put your trust in Jesus he cleansed you of your sin. That's such good news!

Salvation
God is inviting you into a relationship with Him today.
If you want a relationship with Him, then say this prayer out loud right now.
Father, it is written in Your Word that if I confess with my mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in my heart that You have raised Him from the dead, I shall be saved.
Therefore, Father, I confess that Jesus is my Lord. I make Him Lord of my life right now. I believe in my heart that You raised Jesus from the dead.
I thank You for forgiving me of all my sin. Jesus is my Lord, and I am a new creation. Old things have passed away; now all things become new in Jesus’ name. Amen.
