We believe that the grace of God cannot be augmented in any way by works, and that water baptism thus does not contribute to an individual's salvation. We believe, however, that water baptism is scripturally prescribed and that it is intended as a witness of an event that transpired between God and the individual at the time of the new birth.
(Eph. 2:8‑9) (Matt. 28:19; Acts 8:35‑38; Rom. 6:3‑5)
