Several Christians have had several notions about what water baptism is all about. Nevertheless, I will share my thoughts on this topic today.
Water Baptism

Before I begin properly, lets quickly consider the following scriptures.
The book of Romans 6 vs 4 says that;
4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
Likewise, the book of Mathew 28 vs 19 also says that;
19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Also Reading from Mark 16 vs 16, the Bible also says;
16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
This is the baptism in water done by a born again believer, identifying with Christ in His death, burial and resurrection. Water baptism simply means to be completely immersed in water. The criterion for this baptism is to be saved but it is not what gets you saved.
The Significance Of Water Baptism

In water baptism, we identify with Christ in His death, burial and resurrection. In other words, it is an outward demonstration of an inward transformation.
Call To Action
- In your own word, what do you understand by water baptism and do you think it is necessary to be baptized in water before you can make heaven??.
Patiently waiting your thoughts about this.

This draws my attention to child baptism so I will like to ask you which is better because I believe you understand it better is it child or adult baptism?

The bible makes us understand that before a man can enter the kingdom of God that he must be born of water and the spirit, hence signifying the importance of water baptism.
Although different denominations have their views regarding whether it is fully submerged or just partially, what is certain is that it is an important criterion in the christian life

While i believe that one can make heaven without necessarily undergoing water baptism. It is a wonderful thing to identify ourselves with Christ and it is also a great spiritual exercise that gives strength to our souls.

Baptism by water is sign of being reborn...
I think it is necessary for anyone who accepts Jesus into their life to be baptized, because Jesus himself when he came to earth was baptized.

Nice post owoblo..well in my own understanding water baptism signifies a believer being buried in sin(when the person is immersed in water) and been reborn in a new life without sin(when the person is lifted up from the water)

water baptism is significant because it helps us identify with the death and resurrection of Jesus christ our redeemer,that we died and resurrected with him.
