One of the best decisions that I ever made as a Christian was to be baptized. I thank God that I was going to a church that believed in baptism and taught me the importance of following they were considered to a commander based upon the word of God in Mark 1. That small portion of scripture stands as an example for all of us by Jesus Christ in declaring himself to the world and fulfilling the scriptures. God the Father's reply from heaven was ” this is my son and whom I am well pleased ”. Should not that be our desire as well?
