Baptism Type¶

Located on the Membership tab, this Condition is looking at the Baptism Type on a person’s Member Profile tab. If you are using the Membership Process in TouchPoint, this is set automatically when the person’s Decision is recorded.

The Standard Baptism Types are as follows (Note: these can be different for your database if your Admin has changed them):

• Not Specified

  This is the default that will be on all records until a baptism is recorded. So, if a person joins and is already baptized, this will stay Not Specified.

• Original

  This is assigned to a person who makes a profession of faith for membership in the church.

• Subsequent

  This is the one type of baptism that is changed manually and it happens if a person who has been baptized previously realizes that they were not actually saved prior to that baptism.

• Biological

  This type is assigned if a person, who makes a profession of faith, is less than 16 years old, and has at least one parent who has been a church member for more than 1 year.

• Non-Member

  This type is assigned if the person makes a profession of faith not for membership.

• Required

  This type is assigned if the person’s decision is Statement Requiring Baptism.
