Bautismo
Baptism is our first opportunity after salvation to display our obedience to God. Acts 10:48, “And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord . . . .” Baptism is not necessary for salvation (Ephesians 2:8-9) but is important to establish a pattern of obedience. God blesses obedience! Baptism is an outward expression of our inward decision to accept Christ as our Saviour.
The Bible example of baptism is by immersion. The Greek word for baptize is baptizo, which means “to dip, to immerse, or to submerge.” Acts 8:38, “And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.” In the Bible, most people were baptized immediately after salvation. Acts 2:41, “Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.”
Baptism is a public statement that we are not ashamed of Jesus Christ. Colossians 2:12, “Buried with him in baptism. . . . ” Jesus was willing to identify with our sins on the Cross, so we should not be ashamed to identify with Him in baptism (Romans 10:11).

Discipulado
A priority for First Baptist Church is to equip all new Christians with the knowledge of what the Christian life is all about. One way we do that is through the Foundations of My Faith Discipleship Program. This is an in-depth program that goes over many of the questions you may have about the Christian life.
