Baptism Our First Covenant

Faith in Jesus Christ and repentance prepare us for baptism and confermation. These ordiances are really impotant to have, for they make us closser to our Savior. A ordiances is a sacred ceremany that shows that we have made a covenant with God. A covenant is a binding agreement between God and man. As we obey Him and keep His commandments He promises us that we will be blessed. Also as we do keep his commandments and follow his teachings we will be blessed in the life here after.
The covenants that we make when we are baptized are;
1.ALWAYS FOLLOW HIM
2. KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS
3. TAKE UPON OURSELEVES THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST.
Those are the three things that we covant or promise to do when we are baptized. As we do these things the Lord has promised us that we will recive the companianship of the Holy Ghost and we will have a remission of are sins.
Jesus taught that we need to be baptized by immersion for the remission of are sins. Why do we need to be baptized? We all need to be baptized because it is the only way that we can inter the Kingdom Of God. Also if christ himself had to be baptized then how much more do we need to be. For i know that baptizem is a true ordance and we all need to do it by the proper athority. For baptism is the only way and through Christ we can be saved.
