Baby Dedication
At the Church of God 7th Day Mount Vernon, the practice of baby dedication aligns with many Christian traditions where parents present their child to the church. This act is a public expression of gratitude for the child and a commitment to raising them according to Christian faith and values.
As you mentioned, the idea of baby dedication is rooted in biblical examples, such as the dedication of Samuel (1 Samuel 1:24–28) and Jesus' dedication in the temple (Luke 2:22). This reinforces the concept of dedicating children to God and seeking His blessings over their lives.
Baptizim Counciling
In the Church of God 7th Day (and many other Christian denominations), baptism holds significant spiritual importance. It is viewed as an outward sign of an individual's inward faith and a public declaration of their commitment to follow Jesus Christ.
In the Church of God 7th Day, baptism is typically practiced by immersion, meaning the individual is fully submerged in water. This is symbolic of the complete transformation that occurs when someone repents of their sins and is spiritually reborn in Christ.
Importantly, baptism in this tradition is usually reserved for those who are old enough to understand its meaning—meaning it is generally not practiced as infant baptism. Instead, individuals are baptized when they are able to make a personal confession of faith in Jesus Christ.Baptism is rooted in Scripture. The New Testament teaches that baptism is an essential step in a believer’s faith journey. Jesus himself was baptized (Matthew 3:13-17), and he instructed his followers to baptize others (Matthew 28:19-20). The apostle Peter also emphasizes baptism as a key part of repentance and faith in Christ (Acts 2:38).
