This course explores the biblical meaning, purpose, and power of water baptism in the life of a believer. It is not merely a religious ritual, but a covenant act of identification with Christ's death, burial, and resurrection. This course will guide new believers and church members through the foundations of water baptism, its spiritual implications, and its role in the believer’s public witness and discipleship.
Through six progressive modules, students will gain a deeper understanding of water baptism as a command of Christ, a symbol of spiritual transformation, and a prophetic declaration of new life. This course is ideal for those preparing for baptism, those who have already been baptized but want deeper understanding, and church leaders responsible for teaching baptismal candidates.
