3. CONFESS—CALL Being a Christian is an open matter. God requires that your heart believe and that your mouth confess.
Baptism is a testimony before men. All believers should be baptized in order to be saved not onlybefore God, but also before men. The Lord Jesus said: “He who believes and is baptized shall be saved, but he who does not believe shall be condemned.”Mark 16:16 Through baptism, God transfers us from the kingdom of Satan into the kingdom of God. For this reason, the Lord Jesus said: “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a man is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.”John 3:5
