Baptisms
Once a person accepts the Lord Jesus Christ as their savior, we believe in Baptism by Immersion. Baptism is not a work for Salvation (Ephesians 2:8-9) and not a work to get into Heaven. Baptism identifies us with the Death, Burial, and Resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ and the walk in the newness of life. Romans 6:1-5 is the Scripture we use. If someone cannot physically be baptized and has accepted the Lord as their Savior, they are still saved (remember the Thief on the Cross).
Ephesians 2:8-9 KJV "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast."
Romans 6:1-5 KJV "What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:"
