Baptism

What a joy to celebrate Christ’s work in your life through salvation followed by baptism. Baptism is the immersion of a Christ follower in water in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. It pictures the believer’s death to sin, the burial of the old life, and the resurrection to walk in new life in Christ Jesus. Baptism is a physical sign that tells the world that someone has turned from their sins and towards Jesus.

At Carmel, we practice baptism by immersion. We see it as a picture of God’s grace through Christ whereby a believer identifies with Christ.  Would you like to know more about immersion baptism? Click here.
