Reflection 5: Baptism

For we were all baptized by one Spirit into one body—whether Jews or Greeks, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink-- 1st Corinthians 12: 13

Were you baptized or dedicated as an infant? If so, where and by whom?

Short answer--no.

Longer answer--I am of the denomination Church of Christ.

Aside: no, we are not a cult.

Back to my long answer, Church of Christ (or at least those that I have been part of) do not routinely practice infant baptisms or dedications. They believe that a baptism is a decision that should be made when a person is of age to take on Christ and is ready to follow on the Narrow Way.

I was not baptized into Christ until I was 18. It was....kind of a big ordeal, as it was. But that is neither here nor there.

The short answer, once again, was that I was not baptized or dedicated to the church as an infant.
