What About Infant Baptism?
At Word of Life we practice Baby Dedications.
This is a time when parents pledge their commitment to raise their child according to Christian values and beliefs. While a very meaningful event this is not a Christian baptism, according to the Bible.
The Bible teaches that only people who have intentionally made a decision to follow Jesus should experience baptism.
We strongly encourage you to be baptized as an adult believer in Christ.
