A.  BAPTISM IN WATER

The ordinance of Baptism by immersion is commanded in the Holy Scriptures. All who repent and believes on Christ as Savior and Lord are to be baptized. Thus they declare to the world that they have died with Christ and that they also have been raised with Him to walk in newness of life. (Matt. 28:19; Mark 16:16; Acts 10:47, 48; Rom. 6:4) 

B.  HOLY COMMUNION

The Lord's Supper, consisting of the elements bread and wine, is the symbol expressing our sharing the divine nature of our Lord Jesus Christ ( 2 Peter 1:4 ) a memorial of His suffering and death ( 1 Cor. 1:26 ) and enjoined on all Believer's , "till He comes."
