Instructions for performing a water baptism in a group

VISION AND THEOLOGICAL BASIS

Baptism is an outward sign that I follow Jesus

Acts 2:38

Peter replied, “Each of you must repent of your sins and turn to God, and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. Then you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.”

The baptism process in Pisa

Baptism to the feet: God, please let me walk in your ways. Baptism means my selfishness dies.
Immersion up to the hands: God, please let me work for you. I want to use my talents, my passion, my time for you, God.
Dive all the way to the heart: God, please let me love you with all my heart! God is constantly testing our hearts.
Immerse myself with my whole body: God, please let me understand your thoughts and live according to them. I want to belong to you completely.

With baptism I leave my old life behind and start a new life

Colossians 2:12

"For through baptism your old life is ended; you are buried with Christ. But you have also been raised with him to new life through faith in the power of God, who raised Christ from the dead. "

Through baptism I become part of God's family

1 Corinthians 12:13

‘We have all received the same Spirit and therefore belong to the one body of Christ through baptism, whether we are Jews or Greeks, slaves or free; we are all filled with the same Spirit. ’

All Christians who have ever lived, are living now or will live in the future are my family. I belong to his divine family through baptism.
