Nor do Lutherans view it as an act which imparts salvation. It is just an outward symbol that parents are bringing their children to the church and a promise that they will raise them in faith:
"Baptism is not a “one and done” event. Whew, I got that out of the way! Baptism is rather the first milestone in a life-long journey of faith in community with other believers in the world we are called to work and serve. If you are baptizing your child, you are making promises to teach them the Christian faith, to bring them to worship and Sunday School, and to attend worship yourself."

I would strongly urge anybody who has any interest in matters of religion or faith to avoid gaybiker. He is notoriously stupid in this (and all) regards, though he likes to pretend he actually knows something. He doesn't. His brain was pickled and he has made absolutely zero advancement spiritually and intellectually since eleven or so..that's the year he started drinking.

He once famously expounded in his dreary way about how Noah slept with his daughters in the caves after his wife was turned to salt. He went on and on about it, as he is wont to do about all subjects he is woefully dim about. Psst...it was LOT, not Noah whose wife turned to salt. Noah had the ark and the animals. Lot gave shelter to angels and thus was spared to flee Sodom & Gomorrah with his family. His wife didn't make it because she stupidly disobeyed God and looked back. Gaybiker's idiotic rant about it is a perfect example of his stupidity in all things. He doesn't have the sense to shut up about things he knows nothing about.

I do believe Episcopalians view baptism in the same manner as Catholics do, however. And possibly the orthodox Christians..those two faiths are a bit closer to the Catholics in their base beliefs than the rest of the Protestants. Though I don't think the orthodox church is actually Protestant.

Anyway, here's a decent run down on Baptism among Protestants. Again, you'll see gaybiker doesn't have a clue:

"All Protestant churches followed Luther's lead on this.

"Reformed, Lutheran, Anglican, and Methodist Christians continued the practice of infant baptism, though they disagreed with the Catholics that baptism was strictly necessary for salvation (thus they discouraged emergency baptisms of sick infants). For Luther, infant baptism was a sign that salvation was purely a gift from God, not an act of human understanding. Calvin in addition argued that there was only one covenant between God and humans, the sign of which for the Israelites was circumcision, and now for Christians is baptism. Baptism was the precise functional equivalent of circumcision among the Jews, and so Christians ought to baptize at about eight days of age, as the Jews did.

"Anabaptists and Baptists argued that, if salvation was by faith alone, a rite symbolizing the forgiveness of sins was meaningless if performed for someone too young to understand the predicament of sin and the promise of forgiveness. They therefore baptize only those who can responsibly acknowledge sin and ask for forgiveness (typically about 13 years of age at minimum). Lutherans and Reformed theologians argued that, to require human understanding was precisely to make salvation dependent on a human capacity or act, which contradicted the meaning of the forgiveness being presented and symbolized."

Lemmie help you out.................

Jewish Christian - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Or, if you don't like that, Google "Jews for Jesus" and go to their website.

They are not accepted as Jews to the jewish community, they are considered dead to the jewish community when they became goyim

Jews for Jesus | Jewish Virtual Library



A Jew who accepts Christianity might call himself a “Jewish Christian,”
but he is no longer a Jew. He can no longer even be counted as part of a
Jewish congregation.
Conversion to another faith is an act of religious treason in Judaism. It is one of
the worst possible sins that a Jew can ever commit. Along with murder and
incest, it is one of the three cardinal sins which may not be violated .
Rabbi Moses Isserles demanded a formal conversion back to Judaism for those who converted out of Judaism but who then wanted to return to Judaism. (One who practices idolatry denies the whole of the Torah.)

Maimonides himself wrote that if a Jew converted to Christianity, he or she was no longer a Jew (Yad, loc. cit. 2:5.). Reference, Maimonides, Hilchot Mamrim Perek 3, Halacha 1-3, as well as in Maimonides's Mishnah Torah, Avodat Kochavim 2:5.
