Baptism in the United Methodist Church
- We baptize both adults and children.
- We baptize by sprinkling, pouring, or immersion.
- Baptism is something God does, through the church, and it does not need to be "re-done".
- Our baptism never "wears off". The Bible talks about "one Lord, one faith, one baptism". Being "re-baptized" makes about as much sense as visiting an office in the courthouse and going through the paperwork to change your name to the name you already have!
Baptism at Trinity
When individuals come to us wanting to be baptized or to have their children baptized, we talk with them about the meaning of the vows. If they are not active in the church, we encourage them to become active in worship and study before being baptized. Since candidates for baptism publicly repent of their sins and profess their faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, we believe it is important for those persons to be an active part of the worshipping Christian community.
