I'm being baptized tomorrow, and I've been encouraged to say something, but I can't think of any quotations or scriptural passages that really fit how I feel about it. Any ideas?

I'm being baptized by immersion, three times forward (in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit). My family is there (grudgingly), but they are not Christian, and I don't want to draw attention to that. I like the idea of of saying something creative, but I can't come up with anything.
And SN, if you believed that baptism was useless, what makes you think it would cause any change in my brain?

Uh, also, I believe that baptism is a symbol to my community that I have made a well-thought out decision to devote myself to Jesus Christ, who saved the world from their sins. I don't believe that baptism is an act of spiritual cleansing. Only God has the power to do that, and He has many ways to do it which do not include baptism.

Say what you feel in your heart. Don't quote the bible. Say something personal and creative, from your own fertility of mind. Think of it as something you wrote for God to hear. Blessed be.

I thank God for His grace to me a sinner that by my submission to His will in baptism that I will now have my sins forgiven and be added to His church to be a servant unto HIm.

Just bear your testimony. What does having faith in Christ mean to you. Explain why you accepted baptism.
