Explain the practical importance of baptism from a biblical perspective
R.S 1 - " Explain the practical importance of baptism from a biblical perspective"
Baptism is extremely important in the Christian religion. This is because Jesus, the founder of the religion was baptised and Christians believe what ever he did was right so they will do what he did, and get baptised whether they be old or young. In John 3:5 it says that Baptism signifies and brings about spiritual washing and rebirth, which are vital if you want to enter the kingdom of God.
In Romans 6:4 it says " By our Baptism, then, we were buried with him and shared his death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from death by the glorious power of the Father, so also we might live a new live", this shows that by being Baptised you die from your old and sinful life and are reborn into a new sinless life (metanoia). This is symbolized in the Baptism when the person enters the water and goes underneath - dieing from their old life and then rising from the water into a new life.
