What does Park Lane Baptist Church believe about baptism?

Jesus commanded that people who placed their faith in Him are to be baptized (Matthew 28:19-20).

Baptism in the Bible was done after a person placed their faith in Jesus Christ (Acts 8:36-37; 10:47; 16:31-33), which rules out the validity of infant baptism.
