===Believer's Baptism=== *Baptists baptize persons only after they make a personal confession of their faith in Christ. *Baptists do not believe that a loving God condemns anyone for a sin they did not commit. Baptists do not view baptism as a remedy for original sin. Baptists do not baptize infants. *Baptists practice baptism by totally immersing persons in water, rather than by sprinkling, pouring, or anointing persons with water. *Baptism by immersion preserves the dramatic imagery of the meaning of baptism as a symbolic death, burial and resurrection. The symbolism of baptism pictures: the death, burial and resurrection of Christ who died for our sins and the believer's own death to sin, burial of a sinful nature, and resurrection to a new life in Christ.
