Baptism at Discover Church
In Baptism, God is acting. The Church responds to Jesus’ command, “Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,” Matthew 28:19. With the command comes a promise expressed by the apostle Paul, “You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ,” Galatians 3:27.
God adopts and clothes the believer as His child. God’s Holy Spirit is acting in the waters of Baptism joining us to God’s family,

“And because you are children, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!” So you are no longer a slave but a child, and if a child then also an heir, through God,” Galatians 4:6-7.
Since the primary symbol for Baptism is adoption children of any age as well as adults can be baptized. After all a child can be adopted at any age. Peter put it this way when describing the power of the baptismal promise,
“For the promise is for you, for your children, and for all who are far away, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to him,” Acts 2:39.
