“ I was baptised as an infant; therefore I am a Christian” – Do you agree?
R.S 3 - " I was baptised as an infant; therefore I am a Christian" - Do you agree?
If you were a Roman Catholic, then according to Father Brendan Kelly, you would be a Christian for life no matter if you decide whether or not carry on your faith when you are old enough to decided to do this or even if you decide to change religion. I believe that you are only a Christian if you have either been baptised at some stage in your life or go to church at a few times every 6 months. Although there are minor differences between views in the Roman Catholic Denomination, they still believe that if you have been Baptised (at whatever age) you stay a Christian at life. Roman Catholics are the only main denomination to believe this because of the "being born into a new life" theory. They believe that it doesn't matter if you don't believe in God, as long as you were baptised a part of God will always be inside of you, and with baptism we receive God's grace. They believe that even if you do not want to renew your faith with God, or go to church God will still inside of you and you will still have faith even if you do not wish to practice this. The view shown by the Roman Catholics is backed up by Galatians 3:27 " For as many of you were baptised into Christ have put on Christ" this shows that everyone was saved even children, so they must have been baptised.
