Prayer at Baptism (Thanks & Confession)

Original Prayer

Father, thank you for this baptism in the name of Yeshua.

Old life is buried, new life in Christ stands up.

I confess: Jesus is Lord, I belong to him, his Spirit lives in me.

Amen.

Context (Old Covenant)

New Covenant prayer at baptism. Focus on Acts 2:38 (baptism in the name of Jesus), buried-with-Christ (Rom 6).

What it teaches

Confession; belonging; God's faithfulness.

Realization in the New Covenant

Baptism in the New Covenant is confession, not condition (Rom 6:3-4).

  • ›You are not saved through baptism but testify to what has already happened spiritually: death and resurrection with Christ.
  • ›The thief on the cross was not baptized and was in paradise. Baptism is in the name of Yeshua (Acts 2:38; 8:16; 10:48; 19:5).

Prayer in the New Covenant

Father, thank You for new life in Christ. I confess Jesus as Lord. Fill me with Your Spirit and let this life grow in grace. Amen.
