*Baptism does not make someone a Christian. Their *faith in Jesus Christ does. But *baptism is a sign of what has happened. The water is like the flood that washed away all the evil in the days of Noah. The boat is like *salvation that saves people from death. A Christian comes out of the *baptism water and begins a new life. When people put their trust in Jesus, God forgives their *sins. That takes away their bad conscience. Because Jesus rose from death, he gives *eternal life to those who trust him.
