We believe that the Holy Scriptures comprise the 66 books of the Old and New Testaments, and that the best rule of interpretation of Scripture is the comparison of Scripture. This means we do not depend upon a particular verse as literal proof of all beliefs and practices, but we do seek the whole Spirit of the Bible as our guide. We believe in cooperation with ALL who accept Jesus as Christ and Lord.
Water baptism is one sacrament.
It is a sign or a symbol of the baptism of the Holy Spirit and a seal of the Covenant Grace. Since the Holy Spirit is always represented in the Scriptures as being poured out on the person, its renewal and cleansing is best symbolized by pouring or sprinkling water upon the head of the one being baptized. We believe that infant children of Christians should be given the seal of the Covenant just as Hebrew children were in the Old Testament days. Infant baptism is now that seal and represents an act of faith on the part of the parents and Church as the child is dedicated to the Lord. Those who have been baptised in infancy must make a personal acceptance of Christ.
