FAQs Mondays: "What is Baptism?"

Last week, we looked at the question, "How do we learn about salvation?" You can read that post here. This week, we look at Baptism.

What is Baptism?

The immersion of believers in water.

What does Baptism represent?

Baptism represents the union of a believer with Christ in his death, burial and resurrection, and the washing away of sins.

Who are to be baptized?

Only those who repent of their sins and believe in Christ for salvation.

Should babies be baptized?

No; because the Bible neither commands it nor gives any example of it.

Does Christ welcome children?

Yes; he invites children to come to him.

We learn the baptism symbolizes the believer's union with Christ. It is the symbolic washing away of sin. It is for those repent and believe. Next week, we will answer the question, "What is the Lord's Supper?". Feel free to leave a comment.
