**The belief that baptism is an essential component of salvation has led opponents to accuse adherents of believing in "baptismal regeneration" and rejecting the views of '''sola gratia''' and '''sola fide'''; in return adherents believe that faith requires obedience or it is not truly faith at all.

**The phrase "for the remission of sins" does not have a uniform position within Churches of Christ.  The majority view is that a baptismal candidate must understand that baptism will remit their sins; as such, any baptism (even by immersion) with any other belief (such as it being symbolic, as what Southern Baptists teach) is not valid and the candidate would have to be rebaptized in the Church of Christ.  However, a significant minority view holds that, so long as the candidate had a desire to obey God, it is valid even if the candidate did not completely understand its significance.
