Infant Baptism/ChristeningBeliever’s BaptismA baby cannot decide to follow Jesus for themselves, but infant baptism– or Christening – shows that the child is included as a member of thechurch family.When a child is baptised the family and church members look forwardto the day when the promises made on behalf of the baby becomepersonally real for the child.In the same way, getting baptised is a sign of being serious about arelationship with God and being committed to living His way.Adults can be baptised if they were not baptised as a child. It is a wayfor them to express their faith in Christ.When a child is baptised the family and church members look forwardto the day when the promises made on behalf of the baby becomepersonally real for the child.Parents who want to have their baby baptised are asked to attendbaptism preparation classes, so that they fully understand what theyare undertaking.The baptism service itself is only the start. It is expected that the childwill be brought up as a follower of Jesus.Before the baptism service, most churches have a baptism course,where the candidate will look at what the Bible says about baptism andliving as a Christian. They may do this with the Minister or Pastor oftheir church, a Youth Leader or an older and wiser member of thechurch.The person being baptised (the ‘baptismal candidate’) usually asks afriend to hold their towel, and they may have some close friends whowill pray for them during the service. There is usually a time when thecandidate will talk about how they became a Christian and why they arebeing baptised – this may be an interview, or the person may just talk.This is called a testimony.The baptising may be done by the church Minister or Pastor. Inindependent churches it may be done by an Elder, or anyone who hashad played an important part in the candidate’s spiritual life. Youngpeople may be baptised by their youth leaders or other young people inthe church.Just like in a marriage ceremony, the candidate will be asked some bigquestions during their baptism:Do you acknowledge Jesus Christ as your Saviour and Lord?Do you promise with the help of the Holy Spirit to love and serve Godfor the rest of your life?When the candidate says ‘I do’ the Minister lowers the candidate underthe water as a symbol of their dying to their old life, and raises themback up again as a symbol of their desire to live a new life with Jesus asLord – or ‘the boss’!
