Infant Baptism vs Believer’s Baptism: What Does the Bible Actually Say?

Christians who love the Bible sometimes disagree about baptism: should it be given only to those who personally repent and believe (believer’s baptism), or can it also be given to the children of believing parents (infant baptism)? This Scripture-first guide lays out the strongest arguments both sides use, lists every clear baptism event recorded in the New Testament, and highlights what is explicit versus what is inferred. It also includes a focused section on the New Covenant and practical SOS self-discovery prompts to help you reach a conscience-level conclusion before God.

Baptism

This page has been put up to help leaders remember what they have been shown during their 3/3 sessions about Baptism.

Baptism is one of only two ceremonies that Jesus commanded us to keep. (The other being the Lord's Supper).  There is no prescribed ritual for performing a baptism.

In scripture, the word “Baptise” comes from the original Greek word: βαπτίζω, baptizō, (Verb: pres act part masc plur nom) and means to fully immerse.
