Can Someone Take Me Through Christian Baptism 10 Points up for grabs?

Question

I would like someone to explain to me the entire process of christian baptism in detail, the one with the most detail will be awarded best answer.

Answer 1

Theres only one baptism for the Christians (Ephesians 4:5)
This is the doing of the Holy Spirit (I Corinthians 11:13)
When you understand the simple gospel of salvation (I Corinthians 15:1-4) so you receive the Lord Jesus Christ as your Lord God and Savior, it means to say that the Holy Spirit enlighthens you, and He baptizes you into the "Church" Spritual which is the Body of Christ and you are sealed unto the day of Redemption.

Answer 2

The word baptize comes from the Greek word "bapto" (the New Testament was first written in Greek). The word means, "to dip, to immerse, to cover wholly (completely)." This is the meaning of the word, so three things must happen when you are baptized.

1. You must be immersed - "put down into the water"
2. You must be submerged - "totally covered by the water"
3. You must be emerged - "brought up out of the water".

Getting baptized any other way does not fulfill the meaning of the word baptize.

There is never any mention in the Bible of "SPRINKLING" or "POURING" water over someone to baptize him.

We are to get baptized in the name of (Matthew 28:19)
a. The Father
b. The Son
c. The Holy Spirit (Ghost)

When people get SAVED, they should not be ASHAMED of the LORD JESUS CHRIST. GOD has provided a means to do this very thing - getting BAPTIZED. There is NO BETTER way to show that you are UNASHAMED of the LORD JESUS CHRIST, than to publicly submit to BELIEVER'S BAPTISM.

Answer 3

Christian baptism is simple and not made difficult, first it is admitting you are a sinner saved by grace. Romans 5 You came to realize that you needed God to help you stop doing the things you once did. Second it is being baptized with the holy spirit have evident of the gift of tongues. Doing a sinners pray and Asking Christ to be the head of your life and asking for forgiveness, once you recieve christ as the head of your life then you pick up your word and feed your spirit. Pray before you read it so he will give you revelation of the word you read so that it will have an understanding to you. Romans 12:1-3 says not to do the things of the past that you use to do but be renewed by the renewing of your mind another words when you have asked Jesus into your heart and excepted him to be the head of your life you are choosing not to do the things you use to but to do things the opposite of what you use to, I hope this makes sense and I dont need points for this information it is free to you

Answer 4

Christian baptism is first done through the repentance of sin and acceptance of Christ as personal Lord and Savior. It is done on those who can decide and acknowledge that Jesus is the true God so no babies can be baptized. For some churches baptism is also the occasion wherein you become the member of the church (like in mine).

Answer 5

Baptism is part of God’s plan of salvation. To become a Christian, one needs to hear God’s word, Believe, Repent, confess Christ, and Be Baptized. All of these steps are important!

In every conversion example in the book of Acts, baptism is specifically mentioned. Mercy, love, Christ's blood, grace, repentance, and confession are all necessary for salvation, but they are not specifically mentioned every time. Baptism however is!

Those converts were always baptized immediately! None of them either ate, drank, slept, or continued a journey until thye had been baptized.

Baptism Saves (Mark 16:16, 1 Peter 3:21)

Baptism is “for the remission of your sins”, “unto the remission of your sins”, or “so that your sins will be forgiven.” (Acts 2:38 – depending on which translation you read)

Baptism puts one “into Christ”. (Romans 6:3-4, Galatians 3:27) (There is no salvation outside of Christ!)

Baptism puts one into contact with Christ’s death. That is where his saving blood was shed and offered for our sins. (Romans 5:8-10, Romans 6:3-4, Colossians 2:12) We cannot be saved if we do not contact His saving blood. That blood washes away our sins. (Revelation 1:5)

Baptism washes away sin. (Acts 22:16)

Baptism is where new life begins. (Romans 6:3-13) We cannot be saved if we are not born again “to walk in newness of life”.

Baptism is an immersion, or burial in water. (Acts 10:47-48, Acts 8:36-39, Romans 6:3-4, Colossians 2:12) Baptism requires “much water” (John 3:23) (Enough water to burry someone.)

Baptism is by Christ’s authority (according to his commandment or in his name). (Mark 16:16, Matthew 28:18-20, Acts 19:1-5, Acts 2:38)

Baptism is for those who believe. (Mark 16:16, Acts 8:36-37)

Baptism is for those who have repented. (Acts 2:38) (This context also shows they believed – Acts 2:36-37)

After you are a Christian, you must continue to confess Christ and have faith in Him. (Romans 10:9-10, Revelation 2:10)

Jesus said, “He that believes and is baptized shall be saved”. (Mark 16:16)

Many will tell you that a person believes, is saved, and then he should be baptized.

This is not the same thing Jesus said. It is not in the same order!

What would Jesus have said if he had meant, “He that believes and is baptized shall be saved”?

I believe he said what he meant and meant what he said! I believe Jesus! “He that believes not shall be condemned.” (Mark 16:16)

Jesus commanded baptism. “And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him!” (Hebrews 5:9)

Answer 6

If you're looking for volume, there are plenty of white papers on the subject of paedobaptism as opposed to the credo baptism that most people on YA propagate. But the "minority" view that it is, doesn't mean that it's wrong. In fact, infant baptism by pouring or sprinkling gets the intelligent credo people thinking twice about the "public profession" views parroted by the masses.

I suppose it starts with the lack of scriptures forbidding infant baptism. This would make adult immersion allowable but credo's have long since drawn their own dividing line of an age of reason, also nowhere mentioned in the Bible.

There is also an artificial line drawn between an old covenant and a new one, and no connection is made by the credo's. The old covenant of circumcision, with all its parallels to NT baptism, is ignored. Did it just go by the wayside with all the other OT laws? Or was it preserved with its replacement differing in its administration only? You'll have to decide this for yourself, but there is a fairly large weight of evidence for infant baptism through pouring/sprinkling if you take the Bible as a whole, without any dividing lines that are placed there by credo baptists.

Adult, full-immersion only baptism yields quite a few questions that cannot be readily answered, that paedobaptism has no problem with, especially the age of reason ones. For instance, babies are "automatically covered" and get a free ticket to heaven prior to an age of reason. And then some of them lose this salvation once they decide to reject Christ and his "offer" for everyone to be saved. So why not encourage abortion and get as many people into heaven as possible? The mother need only repent and accept Jesus, and both are in heaven as a result.

Paedobaptists would see a covenant of God with his people, Christians who conduct entire households, infants included, as believers, just like OT Israel did with its infants in the practice of circumcision. The rite is owned by God, who can either accept or deny this rite as He sees fit, which matches with the acceptance of Jacob circumcision and rejection of Esau's circumcision. Also, all of Israel was circumcised, those outside of God's decree were not. And the Israelites simply trusted God to make the right decision, they did not judge as to who and who would not be saved among infants. They were just God's people, obeying his command.

Hopefully that sheds some light on baptism for you, but there's plenty more evidence if you just take a look.

Answer 9

i was baptized as an infant...i don't remember it. infant baptism is special to the family...it's a public announcement of the intent of the family to be an example to their child & bring them up in a Christ-centered home. in this way, the public can hold those parents accountable for their behavior. i am for infant baptism.

adult baptism is also a public announcement of the person being baptised to show that they have accepted Christ into their lives and then we as the public need to hold that person accountable for their actions & behavior. i am also for adult baptism.

even Jesus was baptised....no one had to hold him accountable for anything. that's why we strive to be like him.

baptism isn't going to get you into heaven by the way. it's just a public demonstration of faith.

Answer 10

Pour water over the subject's head and say "I baptize you in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit". That's all. You don't need to be a priest or have holy water either.
