14. Of Baptism

We believe that Christian Baptism is the immersion in water of a believer, in the Name of the Father, of the Son, of the Holy Ghost, to show forth in a solemn and beautiful emblem, our faith in the crucified, buried, and risen Saviour, with its effect in our death to sin and resurrection to a new life; That it is to be administered by the church only to those who have made a profession of faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour. (Matt. 28: 19; Acts 8: 36-39; 16: 13-15, 29-34; Rom. 6: 3-5; Colossians 2: 12).
