Baptism holds a sacred place as a divine channel of grace, embodying the flow of God’s mercy, love, pardon, and welcome into our lives. It is one of the pivotal sacraments within The United Methodist Church, alongside the Lord’s Supper. This holy rite is not merely a human act but a testament to God’s embrace and affirmation. Through baptism, we are embraced by the Divine and the community of believers. It serves as a sign that we are embraced as followers of Christ and welcomed into the body of His holy church. This sacrament signifies the commencement of our spiritual odyssey. In this sacred act, both parents and the church community vow to foster the individual’s faith, guided by the promises and blessings of the Baptismal Covenant.
In the case of infants and children, the parents are asked to respond—not on behalf of their child, but for themselves. In the baptism vows, parents are asked to commit themselves to model a lifestyle of Christian discipleship that will give their child every opportunity to grow in the faith. The parents are responsible for keeping a child under the church’s ministry. The officiating minister will ask these questions to the parents or other sponsors:
On behalf of the whole Church, I ask you:
Do you renounce the spiritual forces of wickedness, reject the evil powers of this world, and repent of your sin?
Do you accept the freedom and power God gives you to resist evil, injustice, and oppression in whatever form they take?
Do you confess Jesus Christ as your Savior, put your whole trust in his grace, and promise to serve him as your Lord, in union with the Church Christ has opened to people of all ages, nations, and races?
Will you nurture these children in Christ’s holy Church so that by your teaching and example, they may be guided to accept God’s grace for themselves, profess their faith openly, and lead a Christian life?
Baptism brings us into the church, making us part of the community of faith. No one has to be baptized in a church building, but someone must be baptized in the presence of the church (the people, the congregation).
In the baptism service, the congregation makes certain promises. The whole church commits itself to nurturing this new member of the family with a Congregational Pledge:
Members of the household of faith, I commend this child to your love and care, whom we recognize today as a member of the family of God.
Will you endeavor to live so that this child may grow in the knowledge and love of God through our Savior Jesus Christ?
With God’s help, we will order our lives after Christ’s example so that this child, surrounded by steadfast love, may be established in the faith and confirmed and strengthened in the way that leads to eternal life.
