A confession you can pray right now.
If your heart is stirring toward Christ, the New Testament is unambiguous about what you do next. You confess with your mouth and believe in your heart.
"If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." — Romans 10:9
Heavenly Father, I come to you today acknowledging that I have sinned and fallen short of your glory.
I believe that Jesus Christ is your Son, that he died for my sins on the cross, and that you raised him from the dead.
Right now I confess Jesus as Lord of my life. Come into my heart. Forgive me. Change me. Fill me with your Holy Spirit.
Thank you for saving me. From this day forward I belong to you. In Jesus' name, amen.
Obedience that releases faith.
Right standing before God comes first. Then baptism. Embassy baptizes believers — and in that act, obedience releases and activates the faith already alive in you. Baptism is a circumcision of the heart, a seal of the righteousness of your faith, and your burial with Christ so that a new life may rise.
Baptism is for believers. Faith is demonstrated through baptism.
Baptism aligns us with the headship of the Lord Jesus Christ — a circumcision of the heart, a seal of righteousness, a cutting away of the old nature of sin.
Baptism identifies us with Christ in His death — the old man is buried, and we rise to walk in newness of life.
A believer should be baptized in the name of Jesus — into the person, character, and nature of the fullness of the Godhead bodily.
Sign up for the next baptism.
The Baptism ministry is led by Evangelist Andrew Gaines. Sign up in the Embassy member portal — a pastor will personally reach out to walk with you through preparation and confirm the next baptism date at your campus or hub.

Faith is formed in a covenant community.
The New Testament knows nothing of solo Christianity. What just began in your heart now grows in a house. Choose the path that fits where you are.
