The debate over baptism now surrounds many areas of Christianity. This is certainly not a small subject to undertake. While most theological discussions focus on a specific primary topic or doctrine, debates about baptism include many topics within themselves. Debates over the purpose of baptism, the benefits of baptism, for whom baptism was designed, and what the biblical mode of baptism is are just a few that have been discussed for many, many years and continue today. These date back to the first recorded baptism by John the Baptist. Throughout history, the Church has met many times to discuss different doctrines and practices. This question has been an important part of different faith beliefs. These areas will be covered here in this article based on the research I am doing: I will discuss the meaning of baptism, the purpose and benefits of baptism, was baptism designed for infants or simply those who believed in Christ, and what mode of baptism is biblical. We hope that this article will present the reasoning from both aspects of the questions asked. According to the Baptist view, baptism is a symbol of the saving work of Jesus. The Roman Catholic Church continues to teach that at the time of baptism, a man then begins the process of regeneration, making it a necessary act to receive salvation. Lloyd Jones expresses: “No sacrament is essential to salvation: if you say that it is, you are aligning yourself with the Roman Catholics. Protestants have always said that although baptism and the Lord's Supper are commandments of the Lord and therefore we should practice them, they are not essential. They do not add grace, they simply emphasize it and bring it to us in a special way. » (Lloyd-Jones 1998) When ...... middle of paper ...... their baptism is less important than that which was done by immersion? I don't think so. Although I believe the symbolism of immersion is powerful (being buried and resurrected to new life), this act is primarily about our commitment to following Christ, not imitating Christ's death and resurrection. If an individual can be immersed, I believe that is the way it should be done, based on the example given to us in Scripture, regardless of any inconvenience it may cause. However, if this is not realistic, it is possible to pour or sprinkle water. Again, this is not a primary issue and should not arouse hostility to opposing views. We must, however, strive to follow the example given to us in Scripture as much as possible, understanding that God is merciful and understanding that our circumstances do not always allow us to do so...
