OMSK (RUSSIA), Jan 25 – Seventeen people joined the "Nehemiah" church in Omsk. On Saturday morning in the presence of witnesses they dedicated their lives to the Lord by taking the water baptism and making pledges to serve God with pure hearts.
The water baptism was conducted by a pastor Vadim Krivosheev and a deacon Igor Vostrikov. On the next day during the Sunday service the church welcomed and congratulated the new members of the "Nehemiah" church. Everyone who was baptized received photos from the event and certificates.
Baptism – the commandment of Christ and the apostles: "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them..." (Matt. 28:19), "Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved..." (Mark 16:16), "Repent, and be baptized every one of you..." (Acts 2:38). "And he commanded them to be baptized..." (Acts 10:48). The above verses are taken from the Holy Scriptures to confirm that water baptism is a commandment of Christ and the apostles.
Water baptism – is the next step after repentance, with which a believer affirms his faith in Christ in front of others. Therefore, baptism can be called a visible sign of faith.
We congratulate everyone who was baptized and thank God for the growing church!
