Bible Question: can only male's from a church baptise |
Bible Answer: Igrabow: Welcome to the Forim! Scripture says nothing to prevent any genuine Christian from preventing them from baptizing a new believer in Christ. Although some would say this should be done through a local body of believers. Som Denomonations, some Souther Baptist will only acknowledge baptism done by an ordained Southern Baptist Deacon or Pastor. There are several churches that have female pastors and they do baptize. Most generaly it is done in the name of the Father, Son. and the Holy Spirit. This Ordiance is symbolizing the death burrial and rising of our old sinful self and the rising of our new creation of self. Like Jesus who died for us all who will call Him to save us, and His death and burial, and Jesus reiaing from the dead. I think you have brought a very interesting question to the forum, and my answer is only one of my opinion, and others may not agree, but we respect and show love and kindness here, nice I think.
