SACRAMENT OF BAPTISM
Paul and Dee, since you have presented Jorja
for holy baptism, you are asked to answer the following questions before God
and his people:
First, do you confess Jesus Christ as your Lord
and Savior, accept the promises of God, and affirm the truth of the Christian faith which is proclaimed in the Bible and confessed in this
church of Christ?
Second, do you believe that Jorja,
though sinful by nature, is received by God in Christ as a member of his
covenant, and therefore ought to be baptized?
Third, do you promise, in reliance on the Holy
Spirit and with the help of the Christian community, to do all in your power to
instruct Jorja in the Christian faith and to lead her
by your example to be Christ's disciple?
Response: We do, God helping me.
Do you, the people of the Lord, promise to receive Jorja in love, pray for her, help
instruct her in the faith, and encourage and sustain her in the fellowship of
believers?
Response: We do, God helping us.
