I know I didn't. But as time passes by, our baptism and it's significance becomes more real to us. Baptism is like Marriage. It is a public commitment that we make by choice that we are being united with Christ in His death and resurrection- just like a man a woman becomes one when they get married. However, if you think it helps you to establish this truth again- go ahead! :) Hello Jacob,

Baptism is like Marriage. It is a public commitment that we make by choice that we are being united with Christ in His death and resurrection- just like a man a woman becomes one when they get married.

However, if you think it helps you to establish this truth again- go ahead! :)

Well said! Baptism is also an answer to a clear conscience. I've found that figurative explanation is one of the most powerful ways of explaining something. If you want to explain clearly something to a kid, try making figures [pictorial] of it and you'll find that they'd grasp the concept very quickly. I believe Abba has used the same method here. He wants to make what has happened to us at salvation a reality, and so He has implemented this figurative act of baptism in water. But the significance of it goes beyond the dip. Sid Amen, Titto! Well said!
