*''Saved, Baptized Church Membership'': Every member of a Baptist church must be saved by believing in the Lord Jesus Christ, and have publicly proclaimed their faith through believer's baptism. Baptism is always by immersion and is not administered to infants; it is restricted to those old enough to understand what is required for salvation. However, Baptists oppose the doctrine of [[baptismal regeneration]] as is taught in some denominations. | *''Saved, Baptized Church Membership'': Every member of a Baptist church must be saved by believing in the Lord Jesus Christ, and have publicly proclaimed their faith through believer's baptism.
