Last Question About Baptism In Protestant Churches

[goldenchild17]

Just wanted to clear this up. So, original sin in the Protestant baptism is washed away if the particular church believes that it is so. Reason I ask is because someone asked me if this applied to them. This person does not believe that original sin is washed away at baptism. He says faith must also be present and that babies aren't capable of this, so original sin remains. I'm not sure if he believes original sin is washed away in baptisms of older people, but definitely not in infant baptism.

Yes, they must believe baptism washes away original sin, they must baptize "In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit" meaning batizing using the Trinity and it must be a water baptism.

Infant baptism:

Godfathers and godmothers are given in Baptism in order that they may promise, in the name of the child, what the child itself would promise if it had the use of reason.

There are some protestant churches who do not baptise children or baptise in the name of the Trinity. The question of the washing away of original sin may well be the reason why the Catholic church only accepts baptism as valid in certain protestant denominations, even though the name of the Trinity is used.
