What is the significance of baptism in Pentecostal churches and how does it differ from other Christian denominations?
Baptism holds great importance in Pentecostal churches as a public declaration of faith and a symbol of spiritual cleansing and rebirth. Unlike some other Christian denominations that may practice infant baptism, Pentecostal churches typically emphasize believer's baptism, where individuals make a conscious decision to be baptized after professing their faith in Jesus Christ. This act is seen as a powerful spiritual experience that signifies a personal commitment to following Christ and receiving the Holy Spirit.
