Lo que creemos
The sacrament of baptism reminds and assures us that “as surely as water washes away dirt from the body, so certainly [Christ’s] blood and his Spirit wash away . . . all [our] sins” (Heidelberg Catechism, Q. and A. 69). And because “infants as well as adults are in God’s covenant and are his people,” they, “no less than adults, are promised the forgiveness of sin” and thus “by baptism . . . should be received into the Christian church. . . . This was done in the Old Testament by circumcision, which was replaced in the New Testament by baptism” (Heidelberg Catechism, Q. and A. 74).
En Sunlight, el bautismo lo realiza un ministro ordenado de la Palabra (pastor) o un pastor comisionado. El método habitual de bautismo es rociar agua sobre la frente de la persona que va a ser bautizada, pero también se pueden utilizar otros métodos (como la inmersión). Sunlight emplea el bautismo infantil (para hijos de padres creyentes), así como el bautismo de adultos (para adultos que se unen pero que no han sido bautizados previamente en una iglesia cristiana); un adulto que es bautizado también está llamado a hacer profesión pública de su fe en Cristo.
