Reliability Tier3
Wikipedia's article on baptism across Christian and related traditions, the lower tier reflecting a crowd sourced, continuously edited encyclopedia entry rather than a peer reviewed or institutional source. It is useful here for a well referenced general summary spanning denominational variation in the rite, and is cited for corroborated factual detail rather than for interpretation. NotesWikipedia's article on baptism, consulted 2026-08-11. A perpetually community-edited reference page rather than a peer-reviewed publication; used here for its account of the infant-versus-believer's-baptism split, the denominations that reject water baptism entirely (Quakers, some Unitarian Universalists, the Salvation Army), the Oneness Pentecostal Jesus-name-only formula, and the Mandaean practice of repeated baptism for purification rather than one-time initiation, standard reference facts.
