Glossary

Baptism: 1) The sacrament of Baptism is the initiation rite into the Christian faith which symbolises the candidates ‘dying and rising with Christ’. In Baptism, water is used either for pouring or immersing the candidate. This sacrament is regarded as ‘life giving’ in that the baptised are said become ‘inheritors of eternal life’. The baptised are also believed to be recipients of the Holy Spirit.
