Believer's baptism is supported by scripture as a command of Jesus and the practice of the early church (Mark 16:15-16, Acts 2:41).
The doctrine of believer's baptism is rooted in the commands of Christ and the practices observed in the early church. In Mark 16:15-16, Jesus commissions His followers to preach the Gospel, stating, 'He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved.' This underscores that baptism follows belief. Additionally, in the book of Acts, we see numerous instances where individuals are baptized after professing their faith, such as in Acts 2:41 where those who accepted Peter's message were baptized. This consistent biblical witness affirms the truth of believer's baptism as an essential practice for followers of Christ.
