Baptism is
essential for the
salvation of a
believer. It is
only effective if
somebody
believes the true
gospel message
before they are
baptised.
Baptism is an
external symbol
of an internal
change in the
believer: it
represents a
death to an old,
sinful way of
life, and the
start of a new
life as a
Christian,
summed up as
the repentance
of the believer -
it therefore
leads to
forgiveness from
God, who
forgives people
who repent.
Although
someone is only
baptised once, a
believer must
live by the
principles of
their baptism
(i.e. death to sin,
and a new life
following Jesus)
throughout their
life.

Baptism is a
must for
salvation as
commanded by
Jesus, Mark
16:16; Matt.
28:19. One
receives
forgiveness of
sin, the gift of
the Holy Spirit,
and addition to
God's church.
Acts 2:38-41.
This is done
after one has
expressed their
faith in Jesus
Christ as the
Son of God and
repented from
their sins.

Baptism is
necessary for
salvation as part
of the entire
baptismal
arrangement: as
an expression of
obedience to
Jesus'
command
(Matthew
28:19-20), as a
public symbol of
the saving faith
in the ransom
sacrifice of
Jesus Christ
(Romans 10:10),
and as an
indication of
repentance from
dead works and
the dedication
of one's life to
Jehovah. (1
Peter 2:21)
However,
baptism does
not guarantee
salvation.

|
By immersion
only; typical
candidates are
baptized at
district and
circuit
conventions.

Baptism is how
God
miraculously
delivers a
person from sin,
death, and the
devil; gives new
life; and brings
one into Christ’s
kingdom forever
(Titus 3:5).

Biblical baptism
to be the seal of

Christ as Savior
who died for
their sins and
Lord who lives
to sustain them
|
|

asking for this
sacrament"
(Catechism of
the Catholic
Church, 1257)

East; sprinkling
admitted only if
the water then
flows on the head.

way to salvation,
but a
prerequisite for

One of two
sacraments.
Baptism is an

Through
baptism, the
new believer
witnesses to a
new spiritual
dimension in
his or her life.
Baptism is also
a witness to the
church that the
new believer is
a part of its
fellowship and
work and to
family and
friends that he
or she is now an
active
participant in
the Christian
community
(Mark 1;
Matthew 28;
Acts 2:38).
|
|
Immersion of
believers is the
only form of
baptism
