In the Bible we learn that, "except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God,"(John 3:5) and we also learn that baptism is "for the remission of sins."(Mark 1:4). The importance of baptism is clear in the Bible, yet, many people are still confused today on how baptism is to be performed.
However, Jesus Christ taught us in the Book of Mormon how baptism should be done. In 3 Nephi 11 starting in verse 23 He said,
"Behold, ye shall go down and stand in the water, and in my name shall ye baptize them.
24 And now behold, these are the words which ye shall say, calling them by name, saying:
25 Having authority given me of Jesus Christ, I baptize you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.
26 And then shall ye immerse them in the water, and come forth again out of the water.
27 And after this manner shall ye baptize in my name..."
How would knowing the correct way of baptism make you feel? How can you know if these words Christ spoke in the Book of Mormon are really true?
Let us know if you want a copy of the Book of Mormon, or if you want to learn more about the proper way of baptism.
