It is amazing how what was intended to be a simple command of Jesus has been misinterpreted and misused. Although a few groups deny the necessity of baptism for Christians today, most churches practice the rite. However, when one enters various Christian churches he finds tremendous diversity as to the time a person should be baptized, the rite itself, and its significance.
