WHAT WE BELIEVE AT CHAPEL HILL ABOUT BAPTISM
–
WHY SHOULD I BE BAPTIZED?
To follow the example set by Christ. Jesus never needed to be saved. Mark 1:9
Because Christ commands it; it’s an act of obedience. Matthew 28:19-20
It demonstrates that I really am a believer. Acts 18:8, I John 2:3
–
WHAT IS THE MEANING OF BAPTISM?
It illustrates Christ’s burial & resurrection. I Corinthians 15:3-4, Colossians 2:12
It illustrates my life as a Christian. II Corinthians 5:17, Romans 6:4
Baptism doesn’t make you a believer — it shows that you already believe.
Baptism does not saveyou — only your faith in Christ does that. Baptism is like a wedding ring – it’s the outward symbol of the commitment you made in your heart. Ephesians 2: 8-9
–
WHY BE BAPTIZED BY IMMERSION?
Because Jesus was baptized that way. Matthew 3:16
Every baptism in the Bible was by immersion. Acts 8: 38-39
The word “baptize” means “to dip under water”. It best symbolizes a burial and resurrection.

WHO SHOULD BE BAPTIZED?
Every person who has believed in Christ. Acts 2:41, Acts 8:12-13
