Baptism

Baptism is a joyous occasion. It marks a significant milestone. A bold step where you cross over from old to new. To a life of abundance, joy and hope in Christ Jesus.

For Christians, water baptism is a critical step of obedience (Acts 2:38). It’s a public testimony of your new spiritual birth and faith in the redemptive work of Christ on the cross.

We do not believe baptism should precede salvation.

Whether it’s full immersion or sprinkling (restricted to the physically impaired or seniority of age), baptism symbolizes your commitment to Christ. It’s the act of identifying with His death, burial and resurrection. Children candidates shall be 12 years and above; and prior permission sought with their respective parents. We do not baptize infants.

In Luke 11:37-41, a Pharisee who had invited Jesus to a meal noticed that the Lord did not first wash (baptizo in Greek) His Hands. It was customary for Jews to wash do so before partaking of food where bread is eaten. In the passage, Jesus emphasized that inner transformation is far more important than the outward ritual of holiness.

Getting Married (pre-marital counseling)

You’re in love and plan to marry. Marriage is more than an emotional decision or a social contract. Love alone, however, cannot sustain any relationship. Strong marriages require patience, tolerance and mutual respect. As two individuals from diverse backgrounds of family cultures and upbringing, expectations of marriage can overwhelm.

Marriage is God’s idea. His intent and purpose are for couples to develop Christ-like character. It compels you to be holy. The holy matrimony involves you, your spouse-to-be and God. Spouses committed to walking closely with God can help each other mature spiritually. Marriage becomes a spiritual journey. A Christ-honouring marriage is a healthy picture of Christ’s love relationship with His church – the hallmark of every happy Christian home.

Marriage is not a panacea for loneliness. In itself, it doesn’t make one happy and fulfilled. It’s hard work. Pre-marital counseling (PMC) prepares you for your role and responsibilities as husband and wife. PMC helps to identify blind spots and potential conflict areas and address any issues that may arise.

Does PMC ultimately lead to marriage? Is compatibility a key consideration? What if you’ve contrasting character traits? How do you handle parental objections? More niggling questions? For seven consecutive weeks, PMC covers these major areas:
