- 1浸信會信徒（不是聖經裡「施洗約翰」那個頭銜）
A Baptist is a Christian who belongs to a Baptist church. Baptists believe a person should be baptised only when they are old enough to understand it and to choose it — so they do not baptise babies. The baptism is usually by going all the way under the water, not just a splash on the head. The name comes from that practice. Baptist churches are found in many countries; they are especially common in the United States. In Taiwan you will see 浸信會 on some church signs. Though actually, Baptist with a capital B is this church group. A baptist with a small b can mean someone who baptises people, like John the Baptist in the Bible — that is a title from long ago, not the later church. Not every Christian who practises baptism is a Baptist.
組成From Middle English baptist, baptiste, borrowed from Old French baptiste, from Church Latin baptista, from Ancient Greek baptistḗs, 'one who baptises.' The Greek sits on the verb for dipping or washing.
