Question 12

key part of catholic baptism?

Answer 12

-The priest, or the person performing the baptism, makes the sign of the cross on the child’s forehead to symbolise that the child belongs to Christ.

-The adults who bring the child for baptism reject evil and sin on behalf of the child. They make a declaration of faith in God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit on behalf of the child. This is formally accepting the terms of membership of the Church. The person performing the baptism asks God to make holy the water used for baptism through the Holy Spirit, so that the infant will be ‘born of water and the Spirit’.

-The baby may be immersed three times in the water, or have water poured over its head three times, as the person performing the baptism says: “I baptise you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.’

One of the new Churches that grew out from the Protestant Reformation was the Baptist Church

Question 15

what are baptist beliefs?

Answer 15

-Baptists do not believe in sacraments.
- They believe that symbols are not necessary, and that Christians instead should read the Bible to learn about the life of Christ and then copy what Jesus did to live a life as God wants. -The Baptist Church teaches that Jesus showed people how to live a life in accordance with God’s plan, and so humans must imitate Jesus and follow his instructions.

Question 16

Matthew quote

Answer 16

‘Make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit’ (Matthew 28:19)

Question 17

what do baptists believe about baptism?

Answer 17

• Baptists try to do things the same way that Jesus did, they do not baptise infants. Jesus was already an adult when he was baptised by John, so Baptists practise adult baptism.

-They do not believe in original sin, which is a Catholic teaching, so they do not consider it necessary to wash it away early in a person’s life.

-they see baptism as a ceremony of membership and commitment, as someone prepares to start their adult ministry in the world. It is a public confirmation that a person believes and trusts in God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and has been admitted to membership of the Church.

-called “believer’s baptism’ or credobaptism.

-Normally, teenagers or adults who wish to be baptised join Bible study groups and prepare for baptism by learning all they can about the Christian faith as it is understood by the Baptist Church. Baptists believe that baptism can only be meaningful when those who are being baptised know and understand fully what they are committing to. During this period of preparation, they may spend extra time in study and prayer with an experienced member of the church who will act as a sponsor.

Question 18

how to baptist perform baptism?

Answer 18

-The candidate enters the baptismal pool, usually fully clothed, and confirms that he or she turns from sin and accepts Jesus Christ as saviour.

• The minister, or other person who performs the baptism, then says, ‘I baptise you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit’, and pushes the candidate backwards and down right under the water, then pulls him or her up again. There may be clapping or cheering, and the newly baptised Christian climbs out of the pool, dries off, and then joins the congregation for the rest of the service.

Question 19

what happens after baptists are baptised?

Answer 19

-people become full members of the Baptist Church with rights and responsibilities.

-They continue to study the Bible and share in worship, but they are also expected to share in the work and ministry of the church community. They may help with chores in the church building, work with young people, or take part in activities to encourage new people to join the church (evangelism).

-They have a say when the congregation is making decisions, and when a new minister is being appointed.

Question 20

what do they do instead of baptising infants?

Answer 20

-Baptists never baptise infants or young children, but they do welcome them into the church community shortly after birth in a brief ceremony called ‘infant dedication’ or ‘infant presentation’ during a Sunday service.

-The main arguments for and against infant baptism are theological ones, and are dependent on the theological teachings of the Churches concerned.
