Question 44
What is baptism?
Answer
Baptism is the washing with water in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit; it signifies and seals our adoption into Christ, our cleansing from sin, and our commitment to belong to the Lord and to his church.
Tomorrow is a day when many many Christian Churches take time to remember faithful disciples of Jesus who have departed the Church on earth and have joined the Church in eternity.
We will do so in prayer and song.
Some will have departed during the last year, some will have departed during our lifetimes, some departed before we were born.
Some will have been friends and family, others names we have seen or heard in various media.
This is the body of Christ, and taking time to remember specific members of it, is to further remember him.
