We believe that baptism by immersion, as taught and practiced in Scripture, is how a person surrenders his or her heart to God, becoming a disciple of Jesus Christ. Scripture emphasizes that God examines and knows the condition and attitude of every heart. God is not bound to baptism, but we are. So, while we affirm that Scripture binds us to uphold this biblical teaching of baptism, we also acknowledge that God is sovereign and saves people as He sees fit. Before one may become a member of Delta Church of Christ, one must be an immersed, baptized, Believer.
