Baptis dewasa
Baptis dewasa (bahasa Inggris: adult baptism), yang terkadang disebut baptis orang percaya (bahasa Inggris: believer's baptism) atau kredobaptis (dari kata bahasa Latin: credo artinya "Aku percaya"), adalah praktik pembaptisan bagi orang-orang dewasa, atau setidaknya orang-orang yang dapat menyatakan imannya secara sadar, berbeda dengan praktik baptis bayi yang memberikan baptis kepada para bayi atau anak-anak yang masih belum mengerti dan sadar akan keimanan. Beberapa denominasi yang hanya mempraktikkan baptis dewasa meyakini bahwa para bayi atau anak-anak yang masih belum dapat beriman secara sadar seharusnya belum dibaptis hingga anak-anak tersebut dewasa secara iman.[1]
