"Baptism in China has special significance, for it is viewed as the definitive declaration of one's faith. In a country where some people are persecuted for being Christians -- sometimes by family members, sometimes by government officials -- it is a moment marked with meaning. It signifies one's willingness to identify with Christ, even in the face of suffering and death."
