Remember Your Baptism Pin - 1"

This beautiful 1" enamel pin was designed by our own DVLP brother Rev. Jonathan Hansen with the following description written by him as well: 

"Remember your baptism!
Hebrews 10:22 "Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water."

There are many divides within the church, including on the doctrine of baptism. But Scripture says that baptism is a uniting factor for the Christian. “There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. (Eph 4:4-6 NKJV) And if we stop to consider, this is absolutely true. Baptism is truly a uniting factor in the church. All true Christians everywhere believe in baptism by water administered in the Triune name. We may differ on mode, timing, and it’s efficacy. But we all baptized.

Baptism is the entry sign into the church. It is the sign that we have been united with Christ in His death. It is to give us assurance of our faith. We can draw near because we have been baptized into Christ. This is why our fathers in the faith spoke often of grabbing people by their baptism. And this pin is meant to call you to remember your baptism. Oh Christian, remember your baptism! Let it drive you further up and further in toward Christ! You have been washed. You have been united to Christ in His death! Forward unto Christ!

Explanation of the meaning:
The Shell:
The shell is one of the oldest symbols in Christianity. The shell symbolized rebirth. It is obvious to see why shells were used in baptism early on in the church as baptism is the symbol of this new life. The shell calls back to this ancient Christian imagery. New life in Christ.

The Three Drops of Water:
This image symbolizes baptism in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. Proper baptism is administered with water in the Triune name.

The Latin Cross:
At the center is the Latin cross, the most universally recognized symbol of Christianity across the world. This is used because it speaks visually of the unification of the church in baptism. Indeed we do have one Lord, one Faith, one baptism.

Wear this pin to remember your baptism or to celebrate the baptism of another."

The pin comes with this black velvet-y gift case as well.
