5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
I have come to believe that....
Baptism of water is that event that spiritually ties you to a church. It is the open acceptance of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, followed by immersion in water. This is a symbol of the death of the old man and the rebirth of the new man as a follower of Jesus Christ.
It is the beginning of your journey with your fellow Christians. It most certainly validates your salvation - your admission of your sins and the sacrifice of Jesus Christ for your sins. But, more important, it signifies your joining a local church of Christ and the body of Christ.
Final Note
Good luck on your journey, my friend....
