A two-team showdown. Fast, loud, and fun — but every round asks: does this statement picture what baptism really means… or miss the point? Down into the water. Up into new life.
"We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death… that we too might walk in newness of life." — Romans 6:4
Great game — but here's the truth behind it: baptism is not a bath or a show. It is a public oath — buried with Christ, raised to walk in new life. The real question isn't who won — it's whether you know what the water means.
How to Play — "Buried & Raised"
🎯 The goal: Two teams compete across 4 rounds teaching one truth: water baptism pictures death, burial, and resurrection with Christ — full immersion for repentant believers, connected to the gift of the Holy Spirit in Acts 2:38.
