BAPTISM

If you've accepted Jesus as your Savior, the next step is to go public.  This is done through the sacrament of baptism.   

We have a baptism class for all who are interested that further explains baptism but here are some important things to know:
>Baptism is an outward sign of what's taken place in the heart and life of the one being baptized.  see below
>We prefer to baptize by immersion as it best follows the biblical example, however we will provide an alternative if one is not physically able to be baptized via immersion.
>At Kingston Wesleyan, we prefer to wait until our children are old enough to believe and understand the true meaning of baptism before we baptize them. Therefore, we do not practice infant baptism - but instead offer Infant/Child Dedication.  This ceremony is intended to be a covenant between the parents and God on the behalf of the child.

1.    It illustrates Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection.
For when you are baptized, you were buried with Christ, and in baptism you were also raised with Christ.  Colossians 2:12​

2.    It illustrates my new  life  as a Christian.
When someone becomes a Christian he becomes a brand new person inside.  The old life has passed away and a new life has begun!   2 Corinthians 5:17

By our baptism then, we were buried with Him and shared His death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead...
​so also we may live a new life!    Romans 6:4

3.     It illustrates our sins being  washed away and our hearts being made clean.
… is a picture of baptism, which now saves you, not  by removing dirt from your body, but as a response to God from a clean conscience. It is effective because of the resurrection of Jesus Christ.  1 Peter 3:21
