This was a baptismal service and consisted of three parts:

Rom 6:1-11

When you are baptised into Christ, you are made a partaker of His death and resurrection. God has taken His people and placed them in Jesus Christ, so that His death and resurrection is theirs too. Being in Him, you are crucified with Him and are dead to sin; you are raised with Him into newness of life.

To be dead to sin is to have no more communication with sin. If however, the world still has a strong magnetic pull on you, then you are not dead to sin yet.

Acts 19:1-5

John's baptism was a baptism of repentance from sin. Jesus' baptism is not a baptism of repentance, but a testimony of having died with Christ, and being raised with Him in the new life. If you haven't yet repented, then baptism will profit you nothing. Baptism doesn't automatically make you a Christian. When you are baptised, you testify to what has already taken place in the past.

Rev E Stegen closed the service by exhorting those who were baptised to live according to their testimony.
