Baptism

Why should I be baptized?

Christ commanded it. He was the example. It was for obedience.It was the pattern of the early church. We see it throughout the Book of The Acts of the Apostles. (Acts 2:37-41, 8:12, 8:36-39, 10:46-48, and Chapter 16.)It is a source of unity and a point of common ground. All is level and equal at the foot of the cross and in the baptismal waters.

What do I need to do to be baptized?

Realize your need for God and respond by faith in Jesus Christ, God’s only begotten Son and Savior of the world with your whole heart. Repent (change your mind) and begin a new direction and new way of thinking about your relationship with God. Confess (with your mouth) your trust in Christ and the change that has taken place and that will take place as you mature spiritually in Him. Plunge your past through baptism (your whole body) and begin a new walk and a new way coming out of the baptismal waters as an act of obedience expressing publicly your personal decision to trust Christ as savior and Lord.

Where and when can I be baptized?

In the Sanctuary every second Sunday (unless noted) after the 10:45 Church school has concluded.

What about children?

Parents of children (Grades 1-6) and for preschooler parents may speak with our Children’s Ministry advisers regarding your child’s baptism.

The church

The Greenview First Baptist Church family of faith seeks to fulfill the Great Commission as directed by Jesus Christ in Matthew 28: 18-20. And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.  Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the son and of the holy spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.  And surely, I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

The Greenview First Baptist Church further seeks to accomplish this by focusing on the writings of Paul as recorded in the Ephesians 4:11-12. We strive to equip believers from within our multinational-generational church congregation to learn their spiritual gifts in order to do the work of the ministry, realizing the we have various gifts, talents and abilities. “And his gifts were that some should be apostles, some to be prophets. some to be evangelists. and some to be pastors and teachers to equip  the saints for the work of ministry. for building up the body of Christ…..”

The Greenview First Baptist Church’s vision is connected to its biblical mission. As believers commanded by Jesus Christ and empowered by the Holy Spirit to serve and care for humanity, we pray, worship, study, fellowship, minister to persons in need, liberate the oppressed, promote peace, and practice discipleship, evangelism, stewardship, and social justice in the Spirits of God’s unconditional love.

The task of empowering and equipping believers of different generations to do the work of the ministry involves two approaches. that of maintaining the best of the traditions that continue to meet those spiritual needs, and of developing ministries designed to address the present age needs of the diverse categories of people within our multi-generational community.
