Core Beliefs
At Romans 116 Church, the Word of God is our foundation and final authority.
OUR BAPTISM BELIEF
At Romans 116 Church, we follow the apostolic model of baptism — by full immersion and in the name of Jesus Christ.
Why in Jesus’ Name?
Every baptism recorded in the Book of Acts was done in Jesus’ name, following repentance and belief.
STATEMENT OF BASIC BELIEF
Key Scriptures:
• Acts 2:38 – “Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ…”
• Acts 8:16 – “They had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.”
• Acts 10:48 – “And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord.”
• Acts 19:5 – “They were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.”
We believe:
• Baptism follows repentance and faith in Jesus
• It is a public declaration of a changed life
• It’s done in Jesus’ name, for the remission of sins
• It represents being buried with Christ and raised into new life
