BAPTISMS

Baptism is for children who can express their own decision (Romans 10:9) to trust and follow Jesus and understands the meaning of baptism (Acts 10:47-48). As parents, we have the biggest influence on what our children understand about Jesus, but they are the ones to decide if they will commit their lives to Him.

We recommend that a child be no younger than age 10 to be baptized. Any earlier than that a child may not be able to remember or truly understand the significance of their decision.

Radiant Church recommends that you be baptized if you have not been baptized by immersion AFTER accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. Therefore if you were baptized as a baby or before you truly understood the meaning of baptism, we encourage you to be baptized again as a reflection of your own desire and commitment to Jesus.

You don’t need to be baptized again if you have previously been baptized after accepting Jesus Christ, have struggled, and are now renewing your commitment. If you are seeking to rededicate your life to God, the best step for you to take is to get connected to a small group and focus on growing your relationship with God.

Dark clothes and gym shorts preferably. You will also receive a dark baptism shirt to be baptized in when you arrive on the day you are being baptized.

We highly recommend that you participate in a small group and/or begin serving after water baptism. Either way, we want you connected to community here at Radiant, surrounded by others who will encourage you in your faith journey!
