In the Bible, only believers who had placed their faith in Christ were baptized - as a public testimony of their faith and identification with Him (Acts 2:38; Romans 6:3-4).
Sa Bibliya, tanging ang mga mananampalataya lamang na naglagak ng kanilang pananampalataya kay Kristo ang binabawtismuhan - ito ay upang ipakita sa publiko ang patotoo ng kanilang pananampalataya at pakikipagisa kay Kristo (Gawa 2:38; Roma 6:3-4).
