What is Baptism? What this means is that following acceptance of Jesus as Lord, and turning to new ways of living, the early Christians celebrated and proclaimed their new faith by means of baptism - they acknowledged publicly their faith and symbolised the washing away of sin by immersion in water. The baptismal candidates give a short testimony, explaining how they came to the decision to be baptised. Who Can be Baptised? There are no set age limits on baptism, although those being baptised are expected to be old enough to have an understanding of the action they are taking. The key requirement is to be ready to publicly declare your faith in Jesus as Lord and to publicly commit yourself to Him. People come to baptism by many routes - some are baptised in early teens shortly after making their own private commitment to the Lord. Others, such as thoose in the pictures, started the life of faith in different denominations or non-denominations, and come to baptism after many years. In all cases, it is an act of obedience to the Lord.
