[QUOTE="Sanoy, post: 74531632, member: 397693"] There is nothing about supernatural about the water. What baptism symbolizes is death and rebirth, in the same metaphor as the flood (1 Peter 3:20-21). Like Noah, you are stepping out of the flood into a new world. That is what it symbolizes, but what it is is a ritual declaring your loyalty to Christ and His kingdom before all, both men, and angel. When God made the covenant with Israel the angels came to witness it. It is a declaration that you a citizen of God's kingdom, and not the worlds kingdom. It not necessary to salvation to go to church, but that is where God is waiting for you, and it is where you will grow in the Spirit and knowledge. We have each been given gifts, and we each have a relationship with God which when we share increases the relationship others have. Very importantly, it is where you worship God together. At the church I got to we have been worshiping and the spirit shows up and the pastor, who prepared the service, withholds it for the next Sunday and we continue worshiping. I think it is particularly important for you to go to church because of where you live. The pastor there will be able to teach the laws of Qatar, and how speak to your family, and let you know what the dangers are. I think it is really important to get that kind of counsel before you talk to your family. [/QUOTE]
