Question #44: What is baptism?

Baptism signifies our adoption into Christ, cleansing from sin, and commitment to the Lord and church.

Water poured in the name of the Trinity is more than ritual. Baptism publicly seals a believer's adoption into Christ, the washing away of sin, and a lifelong belonging to God and His people.

Answer: Baptism is the washing with water in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit; it signifies and seals our adoption into Christ, our cleansing from sin, and our commitment to belong to the Lord and to his church.

Scripture: Matthew 28:19 – Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
