Baptism

Baptism is a Christian ritual that symbolizes a person’s formal initiation into the faith. It typically involves water, which represents cleansing and renewal. Christians believe that baptism reflects a commitment to follow Jesus Christ and signifies being part of the Church community. It may be performed at any age, often in a church setting, and can include a public declaration of faith. Different denominations have varying practices regarding baptism, such as whether it should be done by immersion or sprinkling, but the core meaning is about spiritual rebirth and commitment to living a life based on Christian teachings.
