The Episcopal Church originated from the Anglican Church of England. Instead of being called the Anglican Church of
America and because of the Revolutionary War with
England, it is called the Episcopal Church.
Some of their doctrine is similar to Catholicism and some is
similar to Methodism. They believe one is saved by “faith only”.
In one of their creed books, "The Thirty-Nine Articles Of Religion",
they say, “Wherefore that we are justified by Faith only is a most wholesome Doctrine and very full of comfort” (Article XI).
Their creed book also states, “The Baptism of young children is
in any wise to be retained” (Article XXVII). They say infants are
born in sin inherited from their parents. Pouring is their usual
form of “baptism”. When the child, who was "baptized" as an infant, grows of age, he is confirmed.

The Sacraments The two great sacraments given by Christ to his Church are Holy Baptism and the Holy Eucharist.
Holy Baptism At Baptism it is required that we renounce Satan, repent of our sins, and accept Jesus as ourLord and Savior. Infants are baptized so that they can share citizenship in the Covenant, membership in Christ, and redemption by God.
Promises are made for them by their parents andsponsors, who guarantee that the infants will be brought up within the Church, to know Christ andbe able to follow him.
The Holy Eucharist ; The Holy Eucharist is called the Lord’s Supper or Holy Communion; it is also known as the DivineLiturgy, the Mass, and the Great Offering...The benefits we receive are the forgiveness of our sins,the strengthening of our union with Christ and one another, and the foretaste of the heavenlybanquet which is our nourishment in eternal life.
The Creeds The creeds are statements of our basic beliefs about God. This Church uses two creeds: The Apostles Creed and the Nicene Creed. Quotes copied & pasted from: http://www. episcopalspringfield. org/ faith outline. html#

The Method of Baptism In accordance with The Episcopal Church, at St. John's we typically offer Holy Baptism at thecelebrations of Easter, Pentecost, All Saints, the Baptism of Christ and other liturgically appropriatetimes of the year.
Baptism can be offered at other appropriate times, based on personal need, andat the discretion of the priest. Baptism in the Episcopal Church is by immersion or effusion (pouring). Baptism is administered with water in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
Baptisms administered by another communion or denomination are recognized as valid if the criteriaof ministry with water in the
Name of the Holy Trinity were observed. Quotes copied & pasted from: http://www.anglicansonline.org/basics/thirty-nine_articles.htm
lXI. Of the Justification of Man.We are accounted righteous before God, only for the merit of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ byFaith, and not for our own works or deservings. Wherefore, that we are justified by Faith only, is amost wholesome Doctrine, and very full of comfort, as more largely is expressed in the Homily ofJustification.
XXVII. Of Baptism.The Baptism of young Children is in any wise to be retained in the Church, as most agreeable withthe institution of Christ.
