What does baptism signify in the context of conversion?

Answered in 1 source

Baptism signifies an outward profession of an inward faith and commitment to Jesus Christ.

In the context of conversion, baptism is an important act of obedience and a public declaration of one's faith in Jesus Christ. Acts 8:36-38 illustrates this when the Ethiopian eunuch expresses his desire to be baptized following his confession of faith in Christ. Baptism serves as a symbol of the believer's identification with Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection (Romans 6:4). It reflects the inward transformation that has occurred through the work of the Holy Spirit, marking the believer's commitment to follow Christ and live according to His teachings. While it is not a means of salvation, it is a significant step that follows true faith, representing the believer’s acceptance of the grace that has been given through Christ.
