In baptism
God calls us out of darkness and into His marvellous light.
To follow Jesus Christ means dying to our sin and being raised to new life with Him.
It also means that we recognize the spiritual battle we are now in with Satan,
and we reject his attitudes and actions of evil
and turn towards the truth and purity of God in Jesus Christ.
Therefore,
I affirm the following:
I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, who died for our sins, was buried and was raised from the dead.
I have repented of my sins and turned to Jesus Christ as my Saviour, and have received forgiveness for all of my sins through His grace and power.
I have submitted myself fully to Jesus Christ as my Lord and Master.
I renounce the control of sin and the influence of Satan, the devil, in my life.
I embrace the truth that my old self has been crucified with Jesus Christ and I have been raised with Christ to live a new life in Him.
I have given Jesus control over every aspect of my life, including my relationships, sexuality, finances, and all other areas. I am determined, by the grace and power of God’s Spirit dwelling in me, to live free of sinful attitudes and actions, and to grow in loving and serving God and others. I am allowing Him to change me from the inside-out.
I acknowledge and profess the Christian faith as taught in the Bible.
Living as Those Made Alive in Christ
Collossians 3:1-11
3 Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2 Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. 3 For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is your[a] life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.
5 Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. 6 Because of these, the wrath of God is coming.[b] 7 You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived. 8 But now you must also rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips.
9 Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices 10 and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator. 11 Here there is no Gentile or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all.
