===Baptism===

Baptism is reserved for believers who are aware that their sins have been forgiven, not unknowing infants. In this view defies both the Roman Catholic Church and the Protestant Reformers. Therefore re-baptism of anyone that was baptized as a child, or 

According to the [[Schleitheim Confession]] (1527): 
Baptism shall be given to all those who have learned repentance and amendment of life, and who believe truly that their sins are taken away by Christ, and to all those who walk in the resurrection of Jesus Christ, and wish to be buried with Him in death, so that they may be resurrected with Him and to all those who with this significance request it (baptism) of us and demand it for themselves. This excludes all infant baptism, the highest and chief abomination of the Pope. In this you have the foundation and testimony of the apostles. Matt. 28, Mark 16, Acts 2, 8, 16, 19.

The [[Dordrecht Confession]] (1632) states, 
Concerning baptism we confess that all penitent believers, who, through faith, regeneration, and the renewing of the Holy Ghost, are made one with God, and are written in heaven, must, upon such Scriptural confession of faith, and renewing of life, be baptized with water, in the most worthy name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, according to the command of Christ, and the teaching, example, and practice of the apostles, to the burying of their sins, and thus be incorporated into the communion of the saints; henceforth to learn to observe all things which the Son of God has taught, left, and commanded His disciples.

Baptism is administered as Full Immersion. Sprinkling may be used for people that may be too sick, or unable to be fully immersed.
