Believers Baptism
usually the minister talks about the importance of baptism and asks if the condidates are willing to change their lives, "In the name of the father, the son, and the holy spirit". The person must be old enough to have to come to the mature decision about their faith. The baptism involves a full immersion in a pool, which symbolises cleansing from sin and rising up to a new life with christ. The candidates are asked if they are willing to change their lives. Each person may read a bible passage and give a brief testimony of their faith in christ.
