If you haven't already, read this and the comments on that post.

If you read the comments, you notice that near the end, people were disagree on what baptism is and does. So, here is my view on that matter.

What is Baptism?

1. First of all, Baptism is a sign. It is a sign of the washing away of your sins, through Christ. It is a sign of God's eternal covenant of grace with us in Christ.

2. Baptism is a gift of God's grace.

3. Baptism is a call to repentance, to faithfulness to God, and to dicipleship.
