Answer: The similarities between infant baptism and believer's baptism are the following: - water is used - a profession of faith in Christ is made, either by the person being baptised (if he or she is old enough) or by the parents of the child being baptised.
Both agree that a person must be baptised as an outward display of accepting Jesus Christ as Lord. The methods of baptism are quite different. The Catholic Church uses sprinkling of water, Baptists say you have to be immersed in water.
What baptism are you talking about? Infant baptism? Baptism of believers? Well the answer is much the same. Nothing happens to your sin when you are baptized. If you are a believer your sin is already dealt with before you get baptized. A believers baptism is a sign of the believers identifying with Christ in that Christ was buried and rose again the believer is buried (in water) and rises again to a new life. Infant baptism??? well there is nothing in the Bible that teaches infant baptism.
