  Baptism---December 9th.

  Baptism at LifeChurch.tv
  
  Our next Baptism will be September 9th at Palm Beach Central High School. On Wednesday night we will host our Switch Family Edition and celebrate baptisms of both students and adults. If you are a Christ follower and you have not been Baptized, doing so is your NEXT step. Everyone is encouraged to come and celebrate new life in Christ.
  
  Jesus commanded us to celebrate our new life through public baptism. At LifeChurch.tv, that's what Baptism Bash is all about...celebrating your new life through Jesus.
  
  "This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!" 2 Corinthians 5:17 NLT
  
  
  Baptism is...
  
  A step of obedience (Matthew 3:13-16) - Jesus set the example for us by being baptized to fulfill all righteousness.
  
  A statement of commitment (Romans 10:9-10) - Baptism serves as a public statement that we have surrendered our lives to Christ and that we believe in him. In baptism, we are declaring to the world that we belong to Christ and He is our Lord and Savior.
  
  A symbol of the death, burial and resurrection of Christ (Romans 6:3-11) - Just as Christ gave His life for us and died, in making a decision to follow Christ, the person we were prior to becoming a follower of Christ is also dead. Modeling how Christ was buried and then resurrected from death, when being baptized we are buried in the water and then raised to become a new person
