Credobaptist is a term used to describe someone who believes in baptizing only those who have made a conscious decision to follow Jesus Christ. Some synonyms for this term include believer's baptism, adult baptism, or baptism by confession of faith. These terms are used to differentiate from infant baptism, which is practiced by some Christian denominations. They highlight the belief that baptism should only occur after an individual has made a personal decision to follow Jesus Christ. While there may be slight variations in belief among credobaptists, the central idea is that baptism is a symbol of an individual's personal faith in Jesus Christ and should not be forced upon someone without their consent.
