Bible Question: Does it matter who baptizes you? I mean religion wise. Because, many religions, have different ways of baptizing. |
Bible Answer: First of all, I wonder if by religion, you mean Christian denominations or do you mean another religion such as Islam, Judiasm, Jehovah's Witnesses, etc? Jesus said in John 14:6 that He is the way the truth and the life and that no man cometh to the Father except through Him. So Christian Baptism in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, by a minister of the Gospel is how and by whom one should be baptized. In my opinion, by reading about Jesus' baptism in Matthew chapter 3 and the water baptisms in the book of Acts, baptism should be by immersion. By the way, religion, will not save anyone, only a close personal relationship with Jesus Christ. True Christianity is not a religion, but a relationship. The difference in Christianity and religions is that true Christianity is salvation by accepting the free gift of salvation through what Christ did on the Cross. Every other religion is based on man's effort to be good enough. Find a good Bible believing Christian Church and receive instruction on the meaning and purpose of baptism. Then your baptism will be an everlasting source of joy. |
