This religion is based on the teachings of Jesus Christ, the adherents believe that Jesus Christ is the messiah. The basic teachings of Christianity include; love towards God, love and harmony towards other people, faith in God, etc. There are several religions in the world for example; Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, etc. Around 33 percent of the world population is adherent of Christianity. This religion is mostly practiced in the western world. Being adherent of any religion makes the soul pure, people can follow any religion of their choice, it can be by birth or they can change their religion with few rituals.
Every religion has some rituals with which they can make any person adhere to their religion, these rituals are required to be performed under the priests, with the proper holy procedure.
The difference between dedication and baptism is that dedication is the rite performed to welcome the infant in the church on the other hand baptism is a ritual performed by sprinkling holy water on an individual to make them adhere to Christianity. Dedication is a ceremony in Christianity in which the newborn or infant is dedicated to God and welcome in the church. In which ceremony the parents are also dedicated to God is always the child as a Christian.
It is a holy ceremony performed under the priest of the church. Baby dedication is majorly performed by protestant denominations.
Some of the sects in Christianity do not believe in baby dedication instead believe in baptism. It is not necessary to perform the ceremony of dedication on the day of birth of the child, it can be performed whenever the parent finds it suitable. Acts Simon himself believed and was baptized. And he followed Philip everywhere, astonished by the great signs and miracles he saw.
Acts Crispus, the synagogue ruler, and his entire household believed in the Lord; and many of the Corinthians who heard him believed and were baptized.
He told the people to believe in the one coming after him, that is, in Jesus. In the Bible, when someone was baptized, that person believed first. A baby or young child cannot make the decision to believe at their young age, according to most churches who do not practice infant baptism. Baby Dedication vs Infant Baptism When a parent has a child baptized, they are making the faith decision for the child in hopes that it will come true as they get older.
Belief is something each person must personally choose to do. Because churches see baptism as something done after making a clear decision to follow Jesus, they do not baptize infants or young children. None of the details for sacrifice and consecration are followed today. For Samson and John the Baptist, it was not their parents that dedicated them as Nazirites, but God did so for his redemptive purposes.
Finally, Jesus was brought to the temple Luke —24 when 41 days old Leviticus —4; 8 , having been circumcised when eight days old Luke All the ceremonial law completed by Mary has been fulfilled in Christ. In none of these dedications described above did it replace circumcision, which is a sign of the covenant ratified through sacrifice, which baptism now also signifies Colossians But God always initiates grace Deuteronomy ; John , 16— He takes the initiative of giving our children his promises of being part of the covenant in baptism even as unknowing infants cf.
