On this week’s TouchPointes 02.39 – “When Should I Get Baptized?” – Matthew Carnagua

“When Should I Get Baptized?” (pt.3)

• Baptism:
• Part 1 = “What is Baptism?”
• Part 2 = “Meaning of Baptism?”
• Part 3 = “When to be Baptized?”
• Paedobaptism (pedobaptism) is the practice of baptizing infants. The Greek word pais means “child”.
• Credobaptism is a compound word, credo meaning “I believe,” and baptism which means to dip or immerse. In this belief, also known as believer’s baptism, a Christian gets baptized with water after they have professed faith (belief) in Jesus Christ.

“16 Now I did baptize also the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I do not know whether I baptized any other. ” 1 Corinthians 1:16 NASB1995
