- The ceremony of initiation into Christianity ; in most Christian churches , it is considered a sacrament. Persons baptized either have water poured on them or are immersed in water; some groups of Christians (see also Christian ) insist on immersion. The effect of baptism, in Christian belief, is to cleanse persons of their sins, so that they are born into a new life with Jesus . Most churches baptize members when they are infants, but some groups, like the Baptists , insist on adult baptism. Jesus himself was baptized. ( See John the Baptist .)
