A baptism is at the special moment in a Christian’s life when he or she makes the personal statement of faith in front of a crowd of fellow believers, friends, and churchgoers. It can be done in a river, lake, bath tub, or with even just a little water sprinkled on the forehead.
Different Christians have different ideas about baptism, but most adhere to an immersion technique philosophy. The person is immersed in the water by his or her preacher, and the words are uttered, “I baptize you in the name of the father, the son, and the holy spirit.” Alternatively, the preacher will say something like, “I baptize you in the name of Jesus” or “I baptize you in the name of Jesus for the remission of your sins”. Typically, the friends are there for spiritual support but also because the Bible stipulates that it should be public. Therefore, it’s good to send out invitations. The bible offers basic instructions before leaving earth, and that’s an acronym for the word, Bible. Baptism invitations make sure that none of your non-believing friends miss out on the event. It’s important for non-believers to see the stand of courage, compassion, and hard work you’re making in the steps toward the Christian life and the Christian religion.
Baptism invitations can feature a cross, dove, ray of light, host of angels, sword of the spirit, water from heaven descending like a dove, group of Christians standing around a pool of water, or any of the other famous scenes of the Bible in which Christians were persecuted for their beliefs, martyred, or overjoyed when they ascended to heaven to partake of the heavenly fruits of their labor.
Baptism invitations should be sent out at least 2 weeks ahead of time, and the most important people to send them out to are people that don’t go to your church because they’re the ones that most need to see that someone like you can make a dedicated, fun, cool transition into the Christian life. They need to understand that the Christian life is about freedom, fun, and forgiveness, and that it doesn’t mean you have to be baptized to be saved from Hell. You can even be baptized in a bath tub in a small church. God doesn’t tell us directly how to get baptized, only that we should get baptized.
