Christianity is trusting in Christ as your Savior, and letting him be in control of your daily life, but baptism is just a way that Christians show they have been saved. Baptist people complete the action of baptism by having, a head person in the church dunk them under water in a small pool of water. This resmebles jesus before he died, while he was dead, and after he rose from the dead. Although, just because someone gets baptized, that doesn't make them a Christian.

Baptism is a sacrament that is part of christianity. It is when you are blessed and your sin is forgiven (we are born sinners because our ancestors, Adam and Eve, ate the forbidden fruit).
Christianity is the belief that Jesus Christ is the son of God.
If you want to know the difference between Baptists and Christians:
Baptists are a religious sect of Christianity that practices there religion differently than other Christians (Catholics, Protestants, etc.)

Christianity is the religion Jesus started .....not to be confused with Christendom!
Baptism, meaning a lowering into the water AND a coming up, is a ceremony filled with symbolism, showing one accepts Christianity.

baptism is an act of obedience after being born again, aka becoming a Christian (follower of Christ). Some believe that baptism is what gets you to heaven. they are incorrect, it is believing that Jesus Christ died for your sins. Baptism is the first act of obedience demonstrating the washing away of your sins through the blood of Christ. Christ was baptized by John the Baptist.

Baptism is the outward symbol made before men, of a dedication already made in one's heart to do the will of God.
Christianity is the belief that Jesus the Christ is God's means for salvation, and being obedient to his commands and accepting him as the Messiah of God.

A baptism is a ritual act, performed in Christianity AND *many* other faiths. Christianity is a religion.
If you meant Baptist, that is a form of Protestant Christianity.

Huh? Christianity is a religion, and Baptism is the emerging into water, or sprinkling on of water, to confirm one's faith.

Baptism is a ritual washing away of sin after having accepted salvation thru God's Son, Jesus. The ritual.
Christianity is the love and worship of the one true God, and celebration of salvation thru His Son, Jesus. The religion.
