The Christian concept of baptism has attracted massive debates in religious circles. There seems however to be some sort of consensus among scholars of religion that baptism, being a rite refers to an outward act which has a bearing on one’s inner being. There are several forms of baptism in Christianity which include but are not confined to; water baptism (immersion), crossing the fire baptism, spirit baptism, annointing oil baptism as well as marching under the flag baptism. These forms of baptism have both positive and negative effects on the society which among many include; curtail social ills, promote good citizenship and fuel poverty. This paper seeks to discuss how various forms of baptism impact on the society.
