What it is

A decision made public

Baptism is not what saves you — it is what declares publicly that you already have been. It is the moment a person says, with their own body, that their old life has been buried and a new one has begun.

At Iglesia Maná Para Las Naciones we practice water baptism by full immersion, the way Jesus was baptized, and we do it in the river, outdoors, with the whole congregation watching from the bank.

There is no rigid minimum age and no required waiting period. What we do ask is that the decision be personal, conscious and free. Before the baptism you will have a conversation with the pastors to make sure you understand the step you are taking.
