Trinitarian formula for baptism; invocation of Trinity in water baptism

The Cherubim and Seraphim Church affirms the Trinitarian baptismal formula of Matthew 28:19 as the proper form for Christian baptism. Baptism in water in the name of the Trinity is practiced and understood as initiation into the Church and the Christian faith. The formula explicitly invokes the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and this Trinitarian invocation is essential to the validity and meaning of the sacrament.

The practice reflects both Catholic and Christian tradition and is central to Cherubim and Seraphim ecclesiology. Baptism is understood as a significant ritual marking entry into the Christian community and commitment to Christ.
