baptism

Water Baptism is the outward act of an inward commitment of faith in Jesus. It symbolizes the death of our old ways and our spiritual rebirth.

“Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved …” — Mark 16:16

At the Vineyard, we believe baptism is an important next step for anyone who follows Jesus.

Are you wondering what baptism is all about or unsure if baptism is your next step in your spiritual journey? Here are 3 reasons to take the plunge at the North Jersey Vineyard Church:

1. It's an outward expression of an inward transformation. 

Baptism is a public declaration that you have made the personal decision to put your faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. We celebrate baptism as a symbol of salvation that has already taken place in your life!

2. You've never been baptized by immersion. 

In the Bible, Jesus was baptized by being immersed in the water and rising out of it. This symbolized the new life that we have found in Christ. Maybe you've been following Jesus for years or you were baptized as an infant, but you've never been baptized by immersion. We invite you to take that next step with us!

3. Jesus set the example for us by being baptized himself! 

Are you still on the fence? In the Bible we see that even Jesus experienced baptism, and he commands us to follow in his footsteps. Baptism is an opportunity for you to go public in your love and commitment for him!
