The purpose of baptism is to show people in both the church and the community that they鈥檝e become a follower of Jesus. Baptism will not cause God to forgive them鈥攐r help them get to heaven. The Bible does not teach this and we鈥檙e shown by example as well. When Jesus was hanging on the cross, the thief hanging beside Him asked, 鈥淩emember me when you come into your Kingdom.鈥 There was no opportunity for the thief to be baptized but Jesus told the thief that He would see him in heaven that very day. 鈥

"Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit."
