Baptism - interesting facts and information
- Origins: Baptism originated from the practices of Jesus Christ and John the Baptist described in the New Testament. Jesus was baptized by John in the Jordan River, and later Jesus himself and his disciples baptized others.
- Symbolism: Baptism symbolizes cleansing from sins, spiritual rebirth and entry into the Christian community. The water used in baptism is a symbol of purification and new life.
- Ceremony: The ritual of baptism can vary depending on the Christian tradition. In some churches, such as Catholic, Orthodox and some Protestant, baptism is done by pouring water on the head, while in others, such as Baptists, it is done by full immersion in water.
- Godfathers: The baptism of young children often involves one or two people called godparents. Godparents are usually close friends or family members who pledge to help raise the child in the Christian faith.
- Baptism of adults: In some Christian traditions, such as Baptism, baptism is usually reserved for adults or youth who are able to consciously express their faith and desire to be baptized.
- Baptism vs. other sacraments: In many Christian traditions, Baptism is the first of the sacraments of Christian initiation, which may also include Confirmation and Eucharist.
- Baptism and salvation: Many Christian traditions teach that baptism is necessary for salvation, though they differ in their interpretation of how exactly it works. Some churches view baptism as a means of God's grace, while others see it as a public profession of faith.
