What is the significance of believers' baptism in Christianity?

Answered in 1 source

Believers' baptism represents a public confession of faith and symbolizes unity with Christ's death and resurrection.

In historical Reformed theology, believers' baptism is not a means of grace but an ordinance of worship. It follows faith, signifying obedience and dedication to Christ. Baptism highlights a believer's identification with Jesus' death, burial, and resurrection, as clearly articulated in Romans 6. Furthermore, it serves as a demonstration to the world of the believer's faith and commitment, making their relationship with Christ visible and proclaiming God's grace in their lives. Thus, baptism ought to be understood as a vital expression of faith rather than a ritual for obtaining grace.
