•People should be baptized because it is a way of telling others
that Jesus washed their sins away. If we confess our sins, He is
faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all
unrighteousness. Baptism, as an act of obedience, is only a
symbol of what God has already done in your life.
