Baptism and Baptists

Baptism is a Christian rite where one is cleansed of their sin and "re-born." The word baptism itself means to immerse a person into water for religious reasons. The rite of Baptism was practiced frequently in the Old Testament. The main significance of being baptized is the cleansing of ones self, the devotion to God, and forgiveness. Baptists are usually considered Protestants. Baptists believe that those only are members of the Church of Christ who have been baptized. Many disagree with infant baptism because the Church believes all children that die before the age of responsibilty will be saved.
