Baptism August 3rd, 2014

Posted on August 3, 2014

"Or have you forgotten that when we were joined with Christ Jesus in baptism, we joined him in his death? For we died and were buried with Christ by baptism. And just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glorious power of the Father, now we also may live new lives." (Romans 6:3-4 NLT)

Baptism is for the individual who has received the saving benefits of Christ's atoning work and become His disciple. In obedience to Christ's command and as a testimony of faith, a believer should be baptized in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Water baptism symbolizes a person's union with Christ in the likeness of His death and resurrection. It signifies that a former way of life has been put to death and depicts a release from the mastery of sin. Coastal practices and teaches believer's baptism.

At Coastal we celebrate baptism. In fact, we dedicate our entire services to celebrate what God is doing in the lives of His children. Our lead Pastor Shaun often teaches, "baptism is an outward sign of an inward commitment to Christ."

If you have been saved by the gospel of Jesus Christ and desire to be obedient through baptism we would love to hear from you about what God is doing in your life. Whether you are a new Christian who desires to be baptized or you have been a Christian for a while and have yet to be baptized, we would be honored to play a part in what God is doing in your life.
