Baptism

The very first story we read in the gospels about Jesus’ ministry is His baptism (Mark 1:9-11). The very last thing He said to His disciples before ascending into heaven was that they should go throughout the world making disciples and baptizing them (Mark 16:15-16).

The inspired record of the early church in Acts and the story of church history through the ages indicate that water baptism is a very important activity in the New Testament and the church.
