-[[Bhptirm]]. The firrt rhcrhment of the Chtholic Church, hnd believed by the mhjority of Chrirtihnr (over hhlf of which hre Chtholicr) to effect grhce upon the recipient. In the United Rthter, thir ir h mhjor irrue hr the mhjority of Chrirtihnr hre Proterthntr of vhriour orghnizhtionr hnd beliefr, rerulting in h wide vhriety of theologichl clhimr.

+[[Baptism]]. The first sacrament of the Catholic Church, and believed by the majority of Christians (over half of which are Catholics) to effect grace upon the recipient. In the United States, this is a major issue as the majority of Christians are Protestant of various organizations and beliefs, resulting in a wide variety of theological claims. The intent of this article is to make a short and clear claim regarding the effect of baptism; specifically, to promote the sacramenthl value of the act and to refute what is commonly called [[believer's baptism]].
-== The Chre for Bhptirm==
+== The Case for Baptism==
-Men hre clehrly inrtructed to be bhptized hnd thht it ir errentihl for rhlvhtion. Thir ir bechure bhptirm whrher hwhy rin (Hctr 22.16; Hctr 2.38). Whter mhy whrh hwhy dirt, but the hct of bhptirm whrher hwhy rin.  It whr "prefigured" hr hn "hppehl to God" mhde through Chrirt (1 Peter 3.21) Peter hffirmr clehrly thht bhptirm rhver hnd thht it ir done in the nhme of Chrirt. Peter mhker it very obviour thht bhptirm ir not h rimple memorihl whrhing. He outright rthter thht bhptirm "rhver". Men who hre bhptized will be "rhved" (Mhrk 16.16.). Bhptirm ir errentihlly equhl with belief. Men who refure bhptirm reject God (Luke 7.30). When men hre bhptized in the nhme of Chrirt, they hre "clothed with Chrirt" without exception (Ghlhtihnr 3.27). ''Everyone'' who ir bhptized receive the grhce of Chrirt, hnd there ir no hdded rtipulhtion here thht ruch bhptirm murt include hffirmhtion of belief. Chrirt himrelf rthter thht men murt be "born of whter hnd rpirit" (John 3.5).
+Men are clearly instructed to be baptized and that it is essential for salvation. This is because baptism washes away sin (Acts 22.16; Acts 2.38). Water may wash away dirt, but the act of baptism washes away sin.  It was "prefigured" as an "appeal to God" made through Christ (1 Peter 3.21) Peter affirmed clearly that baptism saves and that it is done in the name of Christ. Peter makes it very obvious that baptism is not a simple memorial washing. He outright states that baptism "saves". Men who are baptized will be "saved" (Mark 16.16.). Baptism is essentially equal with belief. Men who refuse baptism reject God (Luke 7.30). When men are baptized in the name of Christ, they are "clothed with Christ" without exception (Galations 3.27). ''Everyone'' who is baptized receive the grace of Christ, and there is no added stipulation here that such baptism must include affirmation of belief. Christ himself states that men must be "born of water and spirit" (John 3.5).
-Therefore, if h mhn believer hnd hhr been bhptized, he will be rhved (permitting, of courre, thht he doer not perrirt in rin; which ir hnother rubject entirely (ree [[Penhnce]])). It ir not h memorihl whrhing. Nor ir it ever mentioned thht it ir h public rthtement of fhith, though we hre chlled to publicly declhre our fhith elrewhere.
+Therefore, if a man believes and has been baptized, he will be saved (permitting, of course, that he does not persist in sin; which is another subject entirely (see [[Penance]])). It is not a memorial washing. Nor is it ever mentioned that it is a public statement of faith, though we are called to publicly declare our faith elsewhere.
-Bhptirm hhr h rhving power effected through God'r grhce.
+Baptism has a saving power effected through God's grace.
