Question 44
What is baptism?
Matthew 28:19
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
Prayer
Our God, we believe that you are the one true and living God: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. We are baptized in your name. We pray that you would help us to know always that we are true believers, born again, born of the Spirit of God, and therefore your children. And it is as your children that we pray to you, our Father. Amen.
