Is engagement required before marriage? - mcgi review topic by brother Eli Soriano

Engagement is not necessary before baptism, baptism is an act of for a believer, marriage is a separate thing all together.
Many religion recommend baptism before marriage, because it is a commitment to God that is more foundational than a marital commitment.
Baptism is a personal declaration of faith, and a way to wash sin's away through Christ, it is a personal decision to follow God, and it doesn't matter if you are married or not.

Engagement and baptism are convenant with different purposes, engagement is an agreement between two people while baptism is one person commitment to God.
Your engagement or marriage should not prevent you from being baptized once you have made up your mind and make a personal decision to follow Christ.

Why some religion requred baptism before engagement is to establish a foundational commitment to God first.
While you are in the process of considering marriage through engagement also try to let it reflect in your spiritual life, and also consider baptism.
