So here’s a fairly important question for Christians: How do you become one? What’s the
process? Or, in church jargon, how do you get saved? Well, there have been some different
answers that. In the Middle Ages, in Christian Europe, you became a Christian by being born
into a Christian society and getting baptized as an infant. That was the key thing. Only the
baptized got to go to heaven. Even newborn babies didn’t get to go, if they died before being
baptized. (The Roman Catholic Church has changed that teaching.) But that was it. If you got
your sprinkling of water, you were a Christian. And there are still some who seem to believe this.
