Baptism is the signification of your Christian faith! Think of it as a wedding ring. And Christianity is getting married. A Christian gets baptized to say, Hey I'm a Christian, not afraid to show it, and I want people to know of my faith, and I signify it with baptism!

∙ 9y agoThere are three different Christian thoughts on the subject of water baptism.
Some Christian groups believe that water baptism is a step in salvation whereby the water washes away sin.
Others believe that water baptism does not save a person from sin, but initiates the person into the church.
The third view is that it is an outward symbol of what already has taken place in salvation; it is a symbol of Christ's death, burial, and resurrection.
