The water does not save you. Jesus does.

In this message from Say Yes, Pastor Stephan Kilgore teaches what water baptism really means and why it matters. Using the picture of a wedding ring, he explains that baptism does not create your covenant with Jesus, just like a ring does not create a marriage. Baptism is the public sign that your allegiance has changed.

Teaching from Acts 8, the Ethiopian eunuch, Matthew 28, Acts 16, and Romans 6, this message answers some of the biggest questions people have about baptism:

Does baptism save you?

What if I was baptized as a baby?

What if I was baptized as a kid but did not understand it?

What if I sin after I get baptized?

Why does baptism need to be public?

If you belong to Jesus, you go public with Jesus.

Scriptures referenced include:

Acts 8

Ephesians 2:8-9

Acts 16

Matthew 28:18-20

Acts 2:41

Romans 6:3-4
