Baptism has become so neglected among some Christian sects that it can no longer be considered a universal sign of an outward connection to the Christian religion. But what can be used in its place?
Answer; Nothing. We have been commanded to baptize, and so we must. This is the sign of the Covenant--
Just be glad your pastor doesn't come after you with a knife aiming for your 'lower' regions. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/bash.gif" alt="" />

We believe that baptism is a blessed washing of regeneration in them that believe. I was referring strickly to its use as outward sign of a connection to the Christian religion.
