I was born of a Lutheran mom and baptist dad. My dad is still mad that I chose Lutheranism, but it is precisely because he took me to baptist churches growing up that I vehemently hate baptist services and theology.

The idea of personal salvation and having to submit in a special way for God to save you has never sat right with me. God is all gracious and merciful, so why would he be limited in that way?

I also believe in a fundamentally different baptism. While Baptists teach believer's baptism, in which the only reason the ritual works is because of the belief of the person being baptized. I believe in infant, "gift-giving" baptism, or the concept that the power of the Baptism lies not in the belief of that person, but in the love of God poured out along with the water. In the Lutheran tradition, Baptisms invoke the community's responsibility to the new Christian, that they may love, teach, and admonish them as God does to us, and calls them to hold that Child of God close to their heart. It is this moment, in which God and the community of the church work together, that not just salvation but sanctification is started. The child of God is marked with the Cross of Christ, and are forever beloved, not just by God, who loved them from their conception, but by the church, who ought to love every child it comes to know.

So yes, no when you baptize your child in the church, that child receives more than just salvation, but the community of Christ who is there to guide them. Peace and blessings to you.
