Baptism itself does not save but\u00a0is a public\u00a0declaration of your allegiance to Jesus. The beauty of baptism is that it represents the life, death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus as well as a picture of the death of our old way of life. This public and physical picture\u00a0of an internal change is a powerful way to impact your friends and family without having to say a word.<\/h4>\n<h4>We&#8217;ve found many people who were raised in church were baptized at a young age but experienced no lasting heart change until later in life. If that describes your experience, we encourage you consider being baptized on the &#8220;right side&#8221; of your genuine heart change.<\/h4>\n<h4>We recommend all those considering baptism to take our\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/rockymountbaptistchurch.com\/membership-class\/\">Membership Class<\/a>.
