baptism is a sacrament of Christianity, along with communion.  Might you mean being Baptist??

Yes, all the time.\n\nTo name a few:\n\nWhen I was baptized.\n\nEvery week at Mass when I receive the body and blood of Christ. \n\nWhen I asked God to forgive my sins and He did.\n\nWhen I married my wife.\n\nWhen I saw my children being born.\n\nI like to think of humans as not physical beings with a spiritual side but as spiritual beings with a temporary physical side.\n\nWith love in Christ.

This is a tradition of man and not Biblical based as the only ones who are candidates for baptism are born again believers. The act of Baptism cant save any one or wash away original sin as some claim as only the blood of Christ can do both.The water birth mentioned in John Ch. 3 is in fact our physical birth and not baptism.

I was Baptized in the river Jordan, but not all people can do that.  It cost a lot of money to get it arranged, and they have to get the Priest the family and their guest there, and then they have a gathering, a party after ward, it cost a lot.  These days it cost too much, it is not very safe, and the river is drying out, not enough rain.  It is in the desert after all,\n\nI think some churches still do that, not all of course.  The reason is, because Baptism now down inside the church, and it is easier to pour the water over the head, and then anoint the person with oil after ward.  That is the only difference, but all the procedures and the words are the same.\n\nIt does not matter how a person is being Baptize.  Whether they are immerse in the water, or sprinkled with it as you might wrong think, or poured the water over their head.  What matter is receiving the Baptizim itself.  \n\nIN the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.  Amen.

Baptism is the acceptance of Christ.\n\n1) Baptism by the Holy Spirit occurs when you have received Christ into your heart.\n\n2) Baptism by water is an outward expression that you trust Jesus Christ to redeem your soul after you die.

The day I received the gift of the Holy Spirit.\n\n5000 young people praising the Lord, learning, praying for each other. Then I started talking with words I did not know but yet they came out as if I had used them my whole life. Since that moment things have been different, when I pray for people things happen, God talks to me in ways people cannot understand, He shows me things most do not see, and when I speak the word of God comes alive to others.

No doubt, a wonderful thing was taking place. The Holy Spirit was visiting you and since He is the one that draws people to Christ, He was doing it using you. Just thank God and celebrate with the heavenly hosts for the soul that has come into the Kingdom. God bless you and may God bless the dear sister that has been saved. May God keep her and continue to use you in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen.

Children and adults are both baptized with water from the font. Their sponsors vow to help them attend services, learn the Creed and to partake in Holy Communion.  We welcome young and old into the family of God.

Yes and No, Yes in away to be Obdient to God, and No,. because faith in Jesus Christ alone, having a personal relationship with, and loving thigh neighboor as thyself is key, but it is recommnded to show your obedience to God, and to show the others that you are born again..\n\nWhy it is not neccesary to be Physically baptized, it is a symbolic reflection, of being born again, washing away your old life and becoming a new person..\n\nTo be baptized is to publicly acknowledge one's faith in Christ as Savior and Lord by being immersed in water (or in some instances, by having water placed on the head). Since acceptance with God is based solely on trust in the person of Christ who died for our sins and rose from the dead, water baptism is only a sign or outward indication of one's faith. It is not necessary for salvation (I Corinthians 1:10-18; 15:1-4). ...\n\n\nmore\n\nMany churches teach that baptism is an absolute prerequisite for salvation. This position is theologically called "baptismal regeneration" because it holds that one is only "regenerated" when a person is baptized. Salvation is described as having two stages. One where a person believes and puts his faith in Jesus Christ for his salvation and the second stage of being baptized. \n\n      There are several passages baptismal regenerationists use in an "attempt" to substantiate their teaching. Acts 2:38, is used as the classic proof text used present this view. In our English Bibles the passage says to the Jews at Pentecost, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ, for the forgiveness of your sins. . . ." Another "proof text" used is John 3:5 where Jesus said, "no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit" and they conclude the water refers to baptism. In Acts 22:16, Ananias told Saul, after his conversion, to "get up, be baptized and wash your sins away. . . ." Many interpret Peter's statement in 1 Peter 3:20-21, that the manner in which Noah's ark saved his family "through water" is a symbol of the "baptism that now saves you." They state that Paul teaches baptism as necessary for salvation when he states in Romans, "all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death..." (Rom. 6:3-4; Gal 3:27; Titus 3:5). Groups that teach this include the Catholics, Seventh Day Adventists, many Pentecostal groups including the United Pentecostal Church, and most of the cults including the Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses (Russelites), Christ of Christ (Cambellites ). \n\n      Baptism clearly is commanded by God for those who have believed and been saved. There is no question that baptism is an important act of obedience of the one who has believed in Jesus Christ and received forgiveness of sin and eternal life. However, baptism as presented in the New Testament always follows belief and never is the basis for receiving salvation. Baptism in the Scriptures was part of one's outward public profession of belief in Jesus Christ as one's Savior and it initiated one into the local body of believers. Although these verses seem to teach that baptism is necessary for salvation an exegetical study will show that these interpretations are in error and that the Bible does not teach that salvation is contingent on baptism.

Yes I do. I got this book when I was young that teaches you how to bring this spirit inside you that tells you what to do and how to do it and it really works! You really have to read the book carefully to pick up it's meaning but the spirit will end up helping you to understand and lead you to greater truths. The Book is called " The King James Bible" and The Spirit is The Holy Spirit of God! I hope this helps you!

remember we don't live by feelings. if you have given your life to Christ the Holy Spirit is with you. there are times in my walk that i don't feel anything that is when my faith comes in, and when i trust in Him i grow in my faith. i'm not sure how you believe but i speak in tongues and when i do there is such a spiritual connection it is awesome... just make sure that you read Gods Word every day and pray everyday. remember first fruits. first thing in the morning read and pray, you will see a wonderful differance in your daily walk.

I do.\n\nI would go with the Baptism. . . I was Baptized (Confirmed and recieved my first Eucharist) last year at the Easter Vigil (Yes, I am a Catholic Convert) and it means a lot to me.\n\nAs I was being Baptized, and the Priest said those wonderful words "I Baptize you in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit", I heard, in my heart, someone say "Welcome Home".  I know it wasn't the Priest or anyone around me - can't explain it, but I know, deep down, that it was God talking to me.  (I know, it sounds weird and "preachy" but it happened.)\n\nAll of them are very special, and more people should be moved by the events that go on.

Hi Ashley W. I am not sure if your asking about water baptism, but baptism by water is not nesseary for your salvation. God speaking in Luke 3:16-17 tells us:\n\n"John answered, saying to all, “I indeed baptize you with water; but One mightier than I is coming, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to loose. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire."\n\nWater baptism has nothing to do with becoming Saved. Baptism was an outward sign (cermonial Law) that God had instituted for the local New Testament congregations.This was to show us a representation of how water (either by sprinkling or pouring on, or by being immersed in) washes away the filth of our flesh (our sins). In the eyes of God for one of us to be clean, it is He (and He alone) which applies the Water of the Gospel to us. And thus, washes away the sins of that individual. The act of water baptism has no spiritual impact on any person. We read in Matthew 28:19: \n\n"Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:" \n\nThis is not talking about water baptism. You could baptise all day and all night and there is no guarantee that anyone of those whom you baptised were saved. Christ was baptised in water and so was I, but it plays no part in anyones salvation. \n\nMy advice is to find a church that preaches a true Gospel, one that does not speak in tounges, believes in visions or dreams.  And that one that teaches that we are saved through the grace of God, and not trure any good works.

You must be baptized {in the Holy Spirit(Ghost)} to be accepted by God.
