What is Baptism?
Baptism is a public declaration that we belong to Jesus and that we serve him as the Lord of our lives. Baptism signifies the end of our old life and the beginning of a new way of life in Christ. When we are put under the water we are identifying with the death and burial of Jesus. When we come up out of the water it is symbolic of Jesus’ resurrection and the eternal life that we now have in Christ. While Jesus did command us to be baptized, baptism does not save us. We are saved by our faith in Jesus Christ.

Matthew 3:13-17 (NKJV) - John Baptizes Jesus:
Then Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan to be baptized by him.  And John tried to prevent Him, saying, “I need to be baptized by You, and are You coming to me?”

But Jesus answered and said to him, “Permit it to be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he allowed Him.

When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him. And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”

Matthew 28:18-20  (NKJV):
And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.  Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.

Acts 6:3-4 (NKJV):
Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

Baptism is the outward example of an Inner Change brought by Salvation.

Can children be baptized?
At Cornerstone, we believe that baptism is intended for those who have put their faith in Jesus Christ. When it comes to children, baptism is appropriate when a child displays evidence of a genuine relationship with God and an understanding of what it means to trust in Christ. There is not an exact age for when a child should be baptized. The right age will vary with each child.
