What is baptism?
Baptism is the
washing with water in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit; it
signifies and seals our adoption into Christ, our cleansing from sin, and our
commitment to belong to the Lord and to his church.
MATIU 28:19
Ko ia, ke mou ō,
‘o ngaohi ‘a e ngaahi kakai kotoa pē ko ‘eku kau ako, ‘i he papitaiso kinautolu
ki he Huafa ‘o e Tamai mo e ‘Alo mo e Laumālie Mā‘oni‘oni:
MATTHEW
28:19
Go therefore and make disciples of all
nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the
Holy Spirit...

Water,
of course, is also necessary for life. Before there was light, the
Spirit of God hovered over the waters (Gen. 1:2). And one day when
the resurrected and ascended Jesus returns to inaugurate the new
heavens and the new earth, a river of life will flow from the throne
of God and of the Lamb in the New Jerusalem (Rev. 22.1-2). Any who follow him
into the waves as enemies of God will emerge as brothers and sisters of the Son
of God, fellow heirs of his eternal inheritance.
