Baptism - Frequently Asked Questions

The many divisions and varied opinions about this subject make it appear almost like a hopeless task, particularly so for the one who honestly tries to clear the air of all its entanglements. Nevertheless, we must do what we can.   Mike Penny of the Open Bible Trust has provided us an audio lesson on the subject.    Click here to listen to “Baptism - Then and Now”.  Follow this link to  hear other audio lesson’s by Mike Penny as well.

Here is an excerpt from Appendix A of the book “Rethinking the Acts” by C.E. McLain.  The article looks long and hard at  two well-known and accepted premises: (1) that water baptism is a symbol of the death , burial, and resurrection of our Lord (Immersionists); (2) that water baptism is a symbol of the coming of the Holy Spirit into the believer’s life with all the varied values of that presence (Affusionists).   Naturally, if we can show from the scriptures used to substantiate these two positions that they do not refer to water baptism, then we are well on our way to understanding the mind of our blessed Lord with reference to this theme.  Further, we prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that water baptism is a Jewish ritual and has always had (without exception) an entirely different symbolic story to portray.  Click here to read more...

Here is a study provided in a special edition of the Scripture Research, from Volume 3, Number 7 – entitled “The Baptism Edition”.  Under the metaphor of a "BAPTISM" lies the destiny of a universe, and more.  Some would limit its meaning and application to a watery tank, unfortunately, to most, the word only means water in one form or another.  That it should embrace all that can possibly be inferred by redemption, reclaiming, restoring, reconciling - is to touch only the beginning of its meaning.  That the Creator should die for man, the creature's sin, that an entombment and a rousing from the death-sleep would be the triumphal pattern through which death would be abolished is a GLORY revealed in this ONE BAPTISM.  Click here to read the entire study on Baptism
