Timkat (Amharic: ጥምቀት which means "baptism") (also spelled "Timket", or "Timqat") is the Ethiopian Orthodox celebration of Epiphany.
 It is celebrated on January 19 (or 20 on Leap Year), corresponding to the 10th day of Terr following the Ethiopian calendar.
 Timkat celebrates the baptism of Jesus in the Jordan River.
 This festival is best known for its ritual reenactment of baptism (similar to such reenactments performed by numerous Christian pilgrims to the Holy Land when they visit the Jordan).
Baptists are individuals who comprise a group of Evangelical Christian denominations and churches that subscribe to a doctrine that baptism should be performed only for professing believers (believer's baptism, as opposed to infant baptism), and that it must be done by complete immersion (as opposed to affusion or sprinkling).
 Other tenets of Baptist churches include soul competency (liberty), salvation through faith alone, Scripture alone as the rule of faith and practice, and the autonomy of the local congregation.
 Baptists recognize two ministerial offices, elders and deacons. Baptist churches are widely considered to be Protestant churches, though some Baptists disavow this identity.
Free Will Baptist (or plural: Free Will Baptists) is a denomination and group of people that believe in free grace, free salvation and free will.
 The movement can be traced back to the 1600s with the development of General Baptism in England.
 Its formal establishment is widely linked to the English theologian, Thomas Helwys who led the Baptist movement to believe in General Atonement.
 He was an advocate of religious liberty at a time when to hold to such views could be dangerous and punishable by death.
 He died in prison as a consequence of the religious persecution of Protestant dissenters under King James I.
Mainline Christian theology (including Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, Church of the East, Anglican, Lutheran and most other Protestants) has traditionally held that only one baptism is valid to confer the benefits of this sacrament.
 In particular, the Council of Trent defined a dogma that it is forbidden to baptize a person who is already baptized, because the first baptism would make an indelible mark on the soul.
 Likewise, "Methodist theologians argued that since God never abrogated a covenant made and sealed with proper intentionality, rebaptism was never an option, unless the original baptism had been defective by not having been made in the name of the Trinity."
 Therefore, in cases where the validity of a baptism is in doubt, a "conditional" baptism may be performed.
Believer's baptism (occasionally called credobaptism, from the Latin word "credo" meaning "I believe") is the Christian practice of baptism as this is understood by many evangelical denominations, particularly those that descend from the Anabaptist and English Baptist tradition.
 According to their understanding, a person is baptized on the basis of his or her profession of faith in Jesus Christ and as admission into a local community of faith.
The Christian rite of baptism has similarities to Tevilah, a Jewish purification ritual of immersing in water which is required for, among other things, conversion, but differs in that Tevilah is repeatable, while baptism is to be performed only once.
 John the Baptist, who is considered a forerunner to Christianity, used baptism as the central sacrament of his messianic movement.
 Christians consider Jesus to have instituted the sacrament of baptism.
 The earliest Christian baptisms were probably normally by immersion, though other modes may have also been used.
 By the third and fourth centuries, baptism involved catechetical instruction as well as chrismation, exorcisms, laying on of hands, and recitation of a creed.
 Affusion became the normal mode of baptism between the twelfth and fourteenth centuries, though immersion was still practiced into the sixteenth.
 In the sixteenth century, Martin Luther retained baptism as a sacrament, but Swiss reformer Huldrych Zwingli considered baptism and the Lord's supper to be symbolic.
 Anabaptists denied the validity of infant baptism, which was the normal practice when their movement started and practiced believer's baptism instead.
 Several other groups, notably the Baptists and Dunkards, have always practiced baptism by immersion as following the Biblical example.
Dr. Don Raunikar is an American psychoanalyst from Houston, Texas.
 He is a Baptist and is married to Kim Raunikar, with whom he adopted their son Jonathan Valentin from Romania through Buckner International.
 He is the director of New Life Clinics, where he practices psychotherapy, and he is in charge of Lifehouse, a crisis pregnancy center.
 Raunikar advises singles not to engage in dating but instead to engage in Biblical courtship, which he defines as an interpersonal relationship that honors God and in which both people's actions have the clear goal of pursuing marriage.
 He wrote the book "Choosing God's Best: Wisdom for Lifelong Romance", which was published in 1998.
 In this book, Raunikar writes that waiting for God's plan to unfold requires courage and faith.
 Belinda Elliott of the Christian Broadcasting Network called "Choosing God's Best" her favorite book on Christian romance and dating.
 In the book "The Invisible Bond: How to Break Free from Your Sexual Past", Barbara Wilson writes that "Choosing God's Best" "resonated with [her] like none other" of the "many books on dating" she had read.
 In the journal "Critical Research on Religion", Courtney Ann Irby of Loyola University Chicago writes about the similarities between "Choosing God's Best" and other Evangelical books about premarital romantic relationships, such as Dannah Gresh's "And the Bride Wore White", Elisabeth Elliot's "Passion and Purity" and "Quest for Love", Eric and Leslie Ludy's "When God Writes Your Love Story", Ben Young's and Sam Adams' "The Ten Commandments of Dating", Henry Cloud's and John Townsend's "Boundaries in Dating", Alex Chediak's "5 Paths to the Love of Your Life", and Joshua Harris's "I Kissed Dating Goodbye" and "".
In the Latter Day Saint movement, Confirmation (also known as the Gift of the Holy Ghost or the Baptism of Fire and of the Holy Ghost), is an ordinance essential for salvation.
 It involves the laying on of hands and is performed after baptism.
 Through confirmation, the initiate becomes an official member of the church and receives the gift of the Holy Ghost.
 Baptism and confirmation are administered to persons at least eight years old (the age of accountability).
 The ordinance corresponds to the confirmation rite in many other Christian faiths.
 Confirmations were first performed on April 6, 1830 at the organizational meeting of the Church of Christ.
The Free Evangelical Fellowship (Norwegian: De Frie Evangeliske Forsamlinger, DFEF), formerly called "The Free Friends" ("De frie venner") is one of the Free Church congregations in Norway.
 The Free Evangelical Fellowship is a nationwide movement with sixty seven parishes and contact addresses in Norway.
 The churches are legally independent.
 It is estimated that the local churches comprise a total of 8,000-10,000 members.
 Churches are mainly in the south and west of the country.
 Its origins date from the 1880s, but it became an established organization after 1900 under the leadership of preacher Erik A. Nordquelle (1858–1938).
 Its "Home and Mission Committee" is a joint mission conducted in several countries in Africa, Asia, Europe and South America.
 The Free Evangelical Fellowship believe in baptism of the Holy Spirit through speaking in tongues and healing by prayer.
 They also practice baptism and Holy communion (open to non-members).
 The movement's theological standing is seen as near Pentecostal, but they had historically separated themselves out to be opponents of the member registers.
 The Free Evangelical Fellowship is therefore not registered as a separate religious branch in Norway.
Infant baptism is the practice of baptising infants or young children.
 In theological discussions, the practice is sometimes referred to as paedobaptism, or pedobaptism, from the Greek "pais" meaning "child".
 The practice is sometimes contrasted with what is called "believer's baptism", or credobaptism, from the Latin word "credo" meaning "I believe", which is the religious practice of baptising only individuals who personally confess faith in Jesus, therefore excluding underage children.
 Opposition to infant baptism is termed catabaptism.
 Infant baptism is also called "christening" by some faith traditions.
