What effect does baptism have on us?

Answer 1

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!

Answer 2

Roman Catholic answer:The Sacraments make one holy through grace. When they are celebrated worthily in faith, the sacraments confer the grace that they signify. They are efficacious because in them Christ Himself is at work: it is He who baptizes, he who acts in His sacraments in order to communicate the grace that each sacrament signifies. from the Catechism of the Catholic Church, 2nd edition.

Answer 3

There 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.

Answer 4

it doesn't, it just takes away our original sin (the sin Adam and Eve gave us when they ate the fruit)
