Answer 1

There is much confusion about baptism in the various Christian denominations. However, this is not a result of the Bible presenting a confusing message on baptism. The Bible is abundantly clear of what baptism is, who it is for, and what it accomplishes. In the Bible, only believers who had placed their faith in Christ were baptized - as a public testimony of their faith and identification with Him (Acts 2:38; Romans 6:3-4). Water baptism by immersion is a step of obedience after faith in Christ. It is a proclamation of faith in Christ, a statement of submission to Him, and an identification with His death, burial, and resurrection.



With this in view, infant baptism is not a Biblical practice. An infant cannot place his or her faith in Christ. An infant cannot make a conscious decision to obey Christ. An infant cannot understand what water baptism symbolizes. The Bible does not record any infants being baptized. Infant baptism is the origin of the sprinkling and pouring methods of baptism - as it is unwise and unsafe to immerse an infant under water. Even the method of infant baptism fails to agree with the Bible. How does pouring or sprinkling illustrate the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ?



Many Christians who practice infant baptism do so because they understand infant baptism as the new covenant equivalent of circumcision. In this view, just as circumcision joined a Hebrew to the Abrahamic and Mosaic covenants, so baptism joined a person to the New Covenant of salvation through Jesus Christ. This view is unbiblical. The New Testament nowhere describes baptism as the New Covenant replacement for Old Covenant circumcision. The New Testament nowhere describes baptism as a sign of the New Covenant. It is faith in Jesus Christ that enables a person to enjoy to blessings of the New Covenant (1 Corinthians 11:25; 2 Corinthians 3:6; Hebrews 9:15).



Baptism does not save a person. It does not matter if you were baptized by immersion, pouring, or sprinkling - if you have not first trusted in Christ for salvation, baptism (no matter the method) is meaningless and useless. Water baptism by immersion is a step of obedience to be done after salvation as a public profession of faith in Christ and identification with Him. Infant baptism does not fit the Biblical definition of baptism or the Biblical method of baptism. If Christian parents wish to dedicate their child to Christ, then a baby dedication service is entirely appropriate. However, even if infants are dedicated to the Lord, when they grow up they will still have to make a personal decision to believe in Jesus Christ in order to be saved.

Answer 2

The way I read the scripture, baptism is an outward sign of an inward change. In other words, it doesn't mean anything if an individual doesn't already have a relationship with Christ. Salvation is by grace. Not baptism. Do you really think God needs to wait until you're wet to save you?

None of my girls is baptized. And they won't be until they are old enough to understand what it means to make a commitment to Christ.

I was raised Catholic, and it never did make any sense to me that everyone was supposed to read the infant's "baptismal promises" as though the infant itself were making them.

God's a good God. He wouldn't turn away innocent children. If a child's too young to know right from wrong, they're too young to be found guilty of sin. After that, when conviction sets in, they can find forgiveness in Christ. And then they can receive baptism as a testimony of their new relationship with Him.

Answer 3

Yes there is, Jennifer, and let me tell you more...

First, don't believe half of what you hear on R & S: Trust in Jesus. He said in John 3:5 "Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of WATER and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God."

Baptism is, if you studied socialogy, a rite of passage from the earthly world to the heavenly. Kinda like Israel passing through the waters of the Red Sea, or living under the cloud in the wilderness on their way to the Promised Land. Of course, some Jews died there for disobedience, and many Christians will be lost before entering the Heavenly Cana, too. Yes, and use the New Testament method of immersion completely under water, too.

Now, about heaven... To understand it, Jennifer, you must know the plan of salvation.

You remember Clinton lying under sworn oath, and his conviction for perjury? Well, all the convicts in jail wanted to know why Clinton goes free, and they had to do time. Hardly Justice! And the peace and serenity of Heaven requires a perfect Ruler to govern a perfect people.

That is why, when our planet's first president, Adam, sinned, he lost his throne. God can not permit transgression to reign in His perfect universe, and Adam lost his position and Earth was without a ruler. We needed another ruler, a Savior.

The apostle Paul calls Christ the "last Adam" (1 Corinthians 15:45); that is, Jesus, our perfect ruler, met Satan in the wilderness, and was victorious, just on food, like Adam was. But Christ's temptation was much worse. He was hungry from 40 days of fasting wheras Adam wasn't.

What I'm getting at, Jennifer, is that you asked about Heaven, but this planet will one day be the New Heaven. We will be in Heaven for a while, but we'll return. Yes, Earth will be the center of the universe.

That is what sin cost. God had to leave His throne, be born as a human on this fallen planet, suffer and die the penalty for sin in our place, and become our New Ruler.

There is a secret Bible code, not understood for almost 2,000 years, and the key was hid in the Bible. It reveals the entire plan to save this planet. Take your time to read it free on the Internet--all five chapters of THE WISE SHALL UNDERSTAND at http://abiblecode.tripod.com

And, God's blessings upon you and the girls, One-Way

Answer 4

Heaven is where God is. I don't know if it is an actual place or not but I do know that he loves all human beings and would take good care of your child should something happen even if you have not followed a specific religious ritual. Pray and do what God tells you to do.

Answer 5

The no Heaven situation would be sad if it is true. You just have to remember something, you lived a life of meaning, your existence on this earth ment something.

Your spirt and love will always live on in the hearts of your children, grandchildren, and so on. You just have to remember those things and it will be okay.

Answer 6

No heaven. dead is dead. Just take care of them and do the best you can for them. It would be silly to worry about heaven and hell. After all they are children. If you do believe in god, do you really think he would send children to hell for not being baptized? Would you really want anything to do with that kind of god?

Answer 7

There is certainly heaven. Jesus said (recorded in John 14):
1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
