Believer's baptism is the [[doctrine]] that [[baptism]] is an outward sign of regeneration that occurs when a person puts his faith in [[Christ]], and as such baptism is only appropriate for believing adults, and not for infants.
Some of the denominations that practice believer's baptism only include [[Baptist]] churches. In contrast the majority of Christian denominations also practice [[infant baptism]] including [[Roman Catholic]], [[Anglican]], [[Lutheran]] and [[Eastern Orthodox]] denominations.
