Baptism into Christ Jesus and into his death. Individuals baptized with holy spirit are also “baptized into Christ Jesus.” This baptism, therefore, applies to Jesus’ anointed followers, who will rule with him in heaven. By being baptized into Jesus, they become members of his anointed congregation.
Your dedication and baptism are the beginning of a very close friendship with God —an intimate relationship with him. — Psalm 25:14. 25 Baptism does not guarantee salvation. The apostle Paul wrote: “Keep working out your own salvation with fear and trembling.” (Philippians 2:12) Baptism is only a beginning.
At our baptism, we demonstrate to observers that we have made a dedication to God 6. Baptism means becoming part of Jehovah’s family. When we get baptized, we become part of a united worldwide family. Although we come from different places and backgrounds, we all share the same beliefs and live by the same moral standards.
Our Creator wants us to keep learning forever —and to enjoy it. So it is wise to “form a longing” for Bible truths now.

Young ones who love Jehovah and who understand what dedication means do not hold back from getting baptized; nor do they at any time regret their decision.

Baptism can save us if we have taken the necessary steps to show that we have faith in Jesus and believe that he died for us, was raised to heaven, and is now “at God’s right hand.”. 7 Second, baptism leads to “a good conscience.”.
Jesus established baptism as a requirement for his disciples. (Matthew 28:19, 20) Therefore, baptism is still a requirement for Christians. In fact, the Bible says it’s necessary for salvation.— 1 Peter 3:21. However, your motive for getting baptized should be your love and appreciation for Jehovah.
Before you can get baptized, you must “repent . . . and turn around.” (Read Acts 3:19.) This means that you feel deeply sorry for any sins you have committed and you ask Jehovah to forgive you.
