About this item
It’s a growing reality in the world of Christendom that baptism is both ignored and misunderstood.
Down through history, the rite of water baptism has been widely regarded as a symbolic entry into the church. Some baptize infants, and others baptize people only after their confession of belief. Some see baptism as essential for salvation, but others see it as far less important than being spiritually immersed into Christ. Then there is the mode of baptism. Some sprinkle water, some pour it, and some immerse. Some baptize in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, while others baptize in Jesus’ name only. In this booklet, Bill Crowder takes a look at the story and meaning of baptism, and what we can all agree on.
