Child Baptism washes away Original sin,Obviously, infants cannot understand the change of allegiance, the putting off of the old and putting on of the new, the dying and rising, the new life, or the sharing in the life of Christ. However, the parents of those infants can understand and live those values and pass them on to their children. They can also experience the support of the community in living those ideals, and that is extremely important.

Show me child baptism in the Bible. Baptism is only for someone who has professed faith in Jesus and makes a decision to follow Him.

@firecharger Luke 18:“15 ¶ And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them: but when [his] disciples saw [it], they rebuked them. 16 But Jesus called them [unto him], and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. 17 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.”

guess I should be baptised then.

how do I get started?

but yea if you're saved and have a car wreck on your way to baptism,you're not going to hell,since we are justified at the point of accepting Jesus into our hearts and lives with all sincerity.Luke 18:14

I do wonder how someone can be saved and not take part in an ordinance given by Christ like baptism or communion though?

Also Jesus died before the thief,thats why his legs werent broken and theirs were.

[crucibull]

As far as whether it should be in the name of The Father,Son,or Holy Ghost,which 1 John 5:7 says are one,or in the name of Jesus only,let us remember that the word Name in the greek(onoma)means authority,for example,"stop in the name of the law."

And its the authority given by God,Jesus,Holy Ghost that we are given to baptize in that authority/name.

Matthew 28:18-20.

I dont think your faith is worth a nickel if you dont get baptized.I do see extremes on the issue.One being people or groups like the salvation army for example that dont believe baptism is for today,and the other extreme being those who thinks its saves you.Jesus saves and the baptizm(spiritual death,burial,and ressurection)is the testimony of that,unless you're getting baptized in vain,not having repented and been saved to begin with.

your dead on firecharger the outward display of the inward work or change to salvation
