NEBC Baptism Position Statement

What we believe about Baptism

We believe that Jesus Christ was the divine sacrificial Lamb that took away the sins of the world, that he arose bodily from the dead, that he ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father, as a final assurance that His redeeming work was perfectly accomplished.  We believe that baptism is the external testimony of the believer’s internal trust in, and commitment to walk with, The Lord Jesus Christ.

Who can be Baptized

We believe that any person, at any age, who understands, has accepted, and trusts these claims may be baptized.
