"Baptism is a meaningful step in a believer’s journey with Jesus Christ, symbolizing new life through the use of water. In Acts 1:5, Jesus told them, “John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.” Acts 2:41 shares that those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand people were added that day. In Acts 2:38, Peter urged, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.”
