Water Baptism at Mesa

Christian baptism symbolizes death and resurrection buried with Him in baptism, in which you also were raised with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead (Colossians 2:12). When you are baptized you make a public declaration, in front of witnesses, that you are starting a new life, that you are going in a new direction. Baptism is an outward sign of an inward decision to follow Jesus.
