Why was Jesus baptized at the age of 30? Bishop Mar Mari explains! 

Hi there ! There’s no particular age! You just Do it when you feel is the right time!

The bible didn't say about child baptism... But in order to get saved, You gotta be baptized from child itself... Coz you are a sinner from the time you are in your mother's womb.... palms 51: 5 read and understand.... u will understand...

Sin is lawlessness. We are told this in the Old and New Testament. A baby knows nothing about the law. The child (and especially a baby) knows nothing about high handed intentional sin because the child knows nothing about the law of God given to Moses. The law of God given to Moses has not been abolished or destroyed or done away with and this is why as adults we need to receive mercy and grace. That’s why we need grace. If the law of God given to Moses has been abolished, even though Yeshua said not a jot or tittle would be relieved, then why would anyone need grace? As you learn you will grow to learn what is right and wrong. When you decide to go against the good that you know to do… then it is sin… then you are accountable. This is what scriptures teaches. This doesn’t mean we can save ourselves if we remain sinless. We will all eventually sin and this is why we will eventually die. But we aren’t born already carrying the guilt of sin. Yeshua was baptized and not because He was a sinner or born as a human being. He was baptized as a Jew obedient to Torah. Baptism is not new to the New Testament scriptures. There were many reasons why someone would get baptized. Scripture tells us that God the father raised Him from the dead. It wasn’t baptism that raised Him from the dead. He didn’t raise Himself. Baptism was symbolic. In the ancient near east they believed the gods of the underworld would issue divine justice. You would be thrown into the water and if you drowned then you were deemed guilty but if you rose to the top and lived then you were innocent. So it is that God is showing us, symbolically, that He finds you innocent when you come back up. This is the motif of the resurrection found in the scriptures and the ancient world. The sadducees couldn’t see it because they only studied the Torah but the rest of the Old Testament reveals this concept much more clearly. You find this motif in the story of creation, the flood, Moses ark, the babies thrown into the Nile, the crossing of the Jordan, Jonah, and peter walking on water, etc etc. There is physical cleansing, for everyday cleanliness, but this why water is associated with death, burial and resurrection. A child (and especially a baby) doesn’t earn salvation or guarantee their salvation by their parents having them baptized. Should all believers get baptized? Yes. Of course. Why? As a public act of obedience. As a public act of showing your trust in Yeshua and proving that Satan has no power over death and life. God finds you innocent because you have been pardoned by Him when you put your trust in Yeshua, the savior of the world!
