There has been much misunderstanding and criticism among Christians and others about Christianity and its rituals. There are different Christian denominations and churches that have its own approach and opinion on the matters of Christian behavior and lifestyle. The questions and arguments often ponder on whom to worship, how to worship, do we need a mediator to pray for us to God, if so, who is that, should we get baptized, if so, when, and how, who is a real Christian and so on. Another prominent debate is, are all people sinners? Is salvation a requirement for one that is born and brought up in a Christian family?
Among all these baptisms and its importance is one of the most criticized and misunderstood ceremony. Some may ask why should I get baptized? What is the purpose of it? Who should get baptized? Is there a particular process or method how and when one should get baptized? Often the understanding of the baptismal candidate about baptism is minimal or none. One predominant persuasion to write this book is people appearing to get baptized without having a thorough understanding about Christian Life and the importance of baptism and its significance in life. Another area of concern is the understanding about sin and sinful lifestyle. Too much confusion about sin, sinner, and its relationship with salvation and baptism.
Many church members and churches consider anyone who is a member of a church or may be even attending the church services as a Christian. Yet some will argue that Christianity is a religion like any other and anyone practicing the rituals of the religion is a Christian. What is the truth? What is Christianity about? Where did it start? Who started it? Why is it important? Question after questions. There are so much confusion concerning the fundamentals of Christianity that are monstrous misrepresentations and misunderstandings.
There is only one place where we can find an answer for any of these questions, the Bible. The intention here is to answer, rather clarify, some of these questions and related misunderstandings. It is simple logic that ‘Christianity’ must start with Christ and His teachings.
