After receiving Jesus as Lord and Savior of your life, your next step in moving forward as a disciple of Christ is to get baptized. You may be saying to yourself, "But I was baptized when I was a baby." That is the case for a lot of people who may have grown up within the Catholic church or other denominational churches. As a Church of God, we believe that we are called to do what Jesus did. In fact, being a disciple of Jesus means to be a follower of Him. Jesus himself was baptized by John the Baptist prior to beginning his walk in ministry (Matt 3:13-17). As confessing Christians we make a conscious decision to accept Christ into our hearts as well as our own decision when choosing to get baptized. This decision is letting the world know as a public confession that we are followers of Jesus and that we are dead to sin and alive in Christ. We become a new creation. It is a choice we make in our heart, not a choice made for us.
