Baptism vs. Baby/Child Dedication
At Maranatha, we believe baptism is reserved for those individuals who are aware of their sin and need of salvation, and want to make a public confession of their faith and commitment to Jesus Christ. This happens when a child or adult is able to understand that Jesus died to take the punishment for their sin. Baptism happens when a person is fully submerged in water to publicly declare their faith in Jesus to everyone.

Very young children, therefore, can be dedicated by the parents to the Lord for His service. This can be done similar to the presentation of the infant Jesus by Mary and Joseph. (Luke 2:22-24) The dedication service recognizes the child as a gift of God and the parents’ responsibility to rightly raise him/her to know Jesus as his/her savior.
