| | Believers baptism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Believer's baptism is one of several distinctive doctrines associated closely with the Baptist and Anabaptist (literally, rebaptizer) traditions, and their theological relatives. | | | This is generally the case with churches with a congregational form of church government. | | | Most denominations who practice beliver's baptism also specify the mode of baptism, generally preferring immersion (in which the baptisand is lowered completely beneath the surface of a body of water) over affusion (in which water is sprinkled or poured over the baptisand). |

| | Believers Baptism |
| | The Baptist doctrine of the church is that it is a community of believers in Jesus Christ. | | | In baptism we by faith, believing and trusting in Jesus as Lord and Savior, die with Christ and are raised with Christ. | | | From this idea of believers baptism comes another important Baptist belief called "regenerate church membership." That means that to join a Baptist church you have to be born again, born of God, born of his spirit. |

| | Of Infant Baptism - John Owen |
| | But this is contrary to the goodness and law [love?] of God, the nature and promises of the covenant, the testimony of Christ reckoning them to the kingdom of God, the faith of godly parents, and the belief of the church in all ages. | | | To deny, therefore, that the children of believing, professing parents, who have avouched God’s covenant, as the church of Israel did, Exodus 24:7,.339 8, have the same right and interest With their parents in the covenant, is plainly to deny the fidelity of Christ in the discharge of his office. | | | The truth of God’s promises is not confirmed if the sign and seal of them be denied; for that whereon they believed that God was a God unto their seed as well as unto themselves was this, that he granted the token of the covenant unto their seed as well as unto themselves. |

| | Baptism of the Holy Ghost by President and Rev. Dr. Asa Mahan, D.D., LL.D., 1799-1889 |
| | Another result of this baptism is conscious "fellowship with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ." Before the believer has received the Holy Ghost, Christ is to his apprehension far off in Heaven, and God is at an infinite remove. | | | Hence the apostles, as soon as a sinner was converted, and became a believer in Christ, turned and fixed his eye upon "the promise of the Spirit" as the crowning blessing of Divine grace, as the blessing without which he could not witness with power for the Lord Jesus. | | | If, on the other hand, believers are to "receive the Holy Ghost" as promised, and are "endued with power from on high," not in conversion, but "after they have believed;" and we impress upon their minds the opposite view, then we impart a life-long misdirection to their seekings, prayers, and activities. |
