How is it established by God? Are we speaking of something Biblical, or doctrinal?


In Christian and Apostolic Churches, it was established through Jesus, Gims. Baptism is a Sacrament instituted by Jesus by which with the ablution of water and the invocation of the Holy Trinity, one is spiritually regenerated. Is it Biblical? Yes. Briefly, on its institution,matter and form, there is John 3:5 together with Mark 16 where it is explicit in that Jesus himself affirmed the necessity of faith and baptism.

On infant baptism, there is Matthew 19:14 and its application to children is confirmed in Acts 16:15, Act 16 and 1 Cor 1:16
