I am not sure what you are asking.... when someone is baptised, it is for the remission of sins (Acts 2:38). It is done in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit

Matthew 28:19 "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit"

"In the name of" means by the authority of; God the Father gave all authority to Jesus Christ (making Him King of His Kingdom, his church, and giving him the power to save souls), who sent the Holy Spirit (John 14:26) to reveal to us His will, which is done through the Bible (II Peter 1:20-21). In this sense, when you are baptised, all three of the Godhead have purposed for this to occur.

Baptism neither supports or discredits the trinity.

Although there are three baptisms a man should have, only one baptism saves him, and that is the baptism of blood.

Many attempt to not consider salvation as baptism, but Eph. 4:5 tells us there is only one baptism. IT is referring to that baptism that a man must have if he is to enter the kingdom of God.

And that baptism is the baptism of Jesus Christ, the baptism a man has baptizing him into Christ, Romans 6, through his blood. This baptism is more commonly known as being born again or saved.


The other baptisms spoken of is that of water and the Holy Spirit. These are needed for the walk of faith, dawning the fullness there of, more commonly known as putting on the full armor of God.


Yet, if a man is born again and does not receive these baptisms, he would not lose his salvation, but his walk of faith would be an ardous one and most lose their salvation, being sucked up by the world.

Celebrating God as Trinity is not the main point of baptism, but baptizing with the words, "in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit" does give an indication of belief in the Trinity and therefore celebration of it.

In a larger sense, baptism by pouring has a parallel with an outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Baptism of babies has a parallel of infant circumcision and God's covenant with Israel in the Old Testament -- along with his prerogative in accepting or denying that circumcision. And of course immersion points to Jesus' death, burial, and resurrection.

The entire congregation shares in affirming its faith in God Triune through this rite. Baptism is conducive to our faith in God through and ingrafting into Christ and the Christian faith. And baptism has a secondary effect of giving witness to others of one's faith in Christ.

Not sure. Well, Jesus was baptised, and he's one part of the trinity. I'm not sure how else to relate the two...God obviously doesn't need Baptism, nor the Holy Spirit. But it's like starting a new us in a different form, so that could be like God taking a different form.

yes. It is basically a tradition people do after they become Christians or "get saved." We get this tradition from the Bible. People are baptised in "the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit." (the Trinity, or "God in three persons")

sacrament is not a biblical term dont be deceived. you dont need to make a bunch of foolish sacraments to get into heaven you must be saved by the blood of the lamb. Jesus. when you are old enough to understand what it is you are doing you can be baptised by any other christian in any water. You dont need a man in a robe dumping water over your newborn baby .

baptism is a sacrament not a celebration, except a cause for celebration

Because of Adam and Eves sin (eating an apple from the tree of knowledge) we are all born with "original" sin, when we get baptized it washes away that original sin.
