Baptism is always accompanied by faith and repentance. Baptism is God’s terms of surrender. Baptism is our signal to God we have accepted Christ’s gospel. Baptism is the external washing with water and the internal washing away of sin by God. Baptism is “calling on the name of the Lord.” Baptism is being unified with Christ in his death, burial and resurrection. Baptism is “clothing” ourselves with Christ. Baptism is “accepting” Christ (on His terms, not ours) Baptism is when our sins are forgiven. http://www.bebaptized.org/Baptismis.htm -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2003-07-03 03:46:09 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism The purpose of the Baptist World Alliance is to empower and enable national Baptist leaders to effectively witness and minister in the name of Jesus Christ and to represent and support Baptists throughout the world in defense of human rights and religious freedom.

The Derivation: The word \"baptism\" is the Anglicized form of the Greek baptisma, or baptismos. These Greek words are verbal nouns derived from baptizo, which, again, is the intensive form of the verb bapto. \"Baptismos denotes the action of baptizein (the baptizing), baptisma the result of the action (the baptism)\" (Cremer). This distinction differs from, but is not necessarily contrary to, that of Plummer, who infers from Mark 7:4 and Hebrews 9:10 that baptismos usually means lustrations or ceremonial washings, and from Romans 6:4; Ephesians 4:5; 1 Peter 3:21 that baptisma denotes baptism proper (Hastings, Dictionary of the Bible (five volumes)). http://bibletools.org/index.cfm/fuseaction/Def.show/RTD/ISBE... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2003-07-03 03:53:46 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Baptism (lutheran Doctrine) (From International Standard Bible Encyclopedia) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2003-07-03 04:00:58 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- VII Baptism in Protestant Churches print section Most Protestant churches adopted traditional views and practices regarding baptism, although often stressing its covenantal character more than its relation to sin. Baptists and Anabaptists, however, insisted on adult baptism, on the ground that only adults can be guilty of sinful acts, repent, and understand salvation—a view also adopted by Pentecostal churches and neo-Pentecostal groups. http://encarta.msn.com/encnet/refpages/RefArticle.aspx?refid...
