Understanding the Significance of Baptism
Baptism holds a special place in Christianity as a symbolic act of initiation and commitment to the faith. At Iglesia Cristiana Getsemani, we believe in the transformative power of baptism, which represents a personal decision to follow Jesus Christ and publicly declare your faith.
Types of Baptism
There are different forms of baptism practiced within Christianity. These include:
- Water Baptism: The most commonly recognized form, where individuals are immersed in water symbolizing cleansing and rebirth.
- Infant Baptism: A sacramental act performed on infants or young children, signifying their initiation into the Christian faith.
- Sprinkling or Affusion Baptism: In this form, water is sprinkled or poured over the head as a symbol of purification.
At Iglesia Cristiana Getsemani, we primarily practice water baptism as a powerful expression of faith.
