[QUOTE="ViaCrucis, post: 76176045, member: 293637"] The Sacrament of Holy Baptism is necessary, because Christ commands that His Church make disciples by baptizing them. Baptism is a precious Sacrament, a gift from God, by which we are born again (John 3:5) and joined together with Christ's death and resurrection (Romans 6:3-4, Colossians 2:12-13), and which "now saves you" (1 Peter 3:21). Baptism is more than ritual, it is Means of Grace, a Sacrament. There are many ways to conduct a baptism (three-fold immersion, aspersion, single-immersion, etc) but it is always done in a Christian manner, "In the name of the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit". Because God attaches His own word and promise to the water of Baptism (Ephesians 5:26), so that it is not mere water, but water comprehended and connected to God's word, thus Baptism--by the power and grace of God alone--accomplishes what it promises. -CryptoLutheran [/QUOTE]
