Yes, in general Puritan groups did baptize infants under the assumption that early baptism was a "half-way covenant" with God that included the child in the Faith community much the same way Circumcision was a mark of community membership in the Old Testament. Baptism of an infant was not considered a final seal of salvation however, as each individual was expected to have a later "conversion experience" that would bring them into a personal covenant with Christ in addition to the community covenant that took place at Baptism.
How do Christians practice the significance of baptism for both the individual and the Christian community?
they practice this by celebrating the holy eurcarist and by continously attending reconciliation in the christian community. Below: edited by toy.soldier Heres my take on it: Baptism is central to the christian belief and is performed by a deacon, minister, priest or bishop. Baptism is signifigant for the individual because it initiates them into the christian faith, introducing them to the holy spirit and giving access to other sacraments and rites such as communion, reconciliation, etc.. For the community, baptism is an event by which the others in the community witness the initiation of another adherent into their community, rather than being directly involved. I hope this answer helps and if there are any other questions i may be able to answer on Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Aboriginal Spirituality and to some extent, Judaism and Buddhism, ask me on toy.soldier@live.com.au or on 0433 968 184
