  About Baptism Ceremony

Baptism, the second sacrament accepted by Christians, is a ceremony where an infant, child or adult is removed of all sins to begin a new life with God.  The New Testament teaches that baptism is a sort of death and resurrection. It is believed that it marks the end of an old way of life, and the start of a new life, which is lived out in the company of other Christians. The New Testament also says that the baptismal ceremony depicts how Jesus dies and rose again. Baptism is the rite of initiation by which people enter the church, and this belief is symbolized by the fact that the font (the stand which contains the water for baptism) is usually located at the door of the church. Christians see baptism as an act of renunciation.

The parents of the child, or the baptized adult, are asked if they repent of their sins and renounce all evil. It is also seen marking the beginning of a new life with God and a form of spiritual cleaning. The water used in the baptism ceremony is a symbol for spiritual cleanliness as well as the removal of sin from human life by the death and resurrection of Jesus.

Sometimes, larger bodies of water, like streams and lakes are used for baptism, but usually it takes place in a church. Some churches have a baptistery, a sort of pool, built into the floor. The applicant approaches the minister a few weeks before and request baptism. During this time, the minister or priest questions the applicant to confirm their personal commitment to Jesus Christ as well as makes sure that they have some understanding of what it means to follow him.

On the day of the baptism, girls dress in a white baptismal gown and boys dress in a shirt and flannels. Hymns, prayers, readings and a sermon are performed, and then the Priest or Minister puts on his special boots. The candidate stands in the baptistery and gives a statement about how they came to have faith in Christ and then the Minister or Priest says their name, then plunging them into the water, baptizing them “into the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.” Hymns of faith are sung, as the candidate leaves for the dressing room. This baptismal service is usually followed by a Baptism Party Celebration.
