In the realm of systematic theology, the topics of baptism and communion hold significant theological importance. These practices are deeply rooted in the Christian faith and hold symbolic and spiritual significance for believers. Let us explore the concepts of baptism and communion, backed by relevant Bible verses. Baptism Baptism is a sacred act that represents an individual's initiation into the Christian community. It symbolizes purification, rebirth, and the forgiveness of sins. Through baptism, believers publicly declare their faith in Jesus Christ and their commitment to following Him. The Bible provides several instances where baptism is mentioned, each emphasizing its significance. One such verse is from Matthew 28:19 (NIV): Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Another verse that highlights the symbolism of baptism is Romans 6:4 (NIV): We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.
