Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the act and subjects of Christian baptism by examining the Greek words used in the New Testament to designate the ordinance and its recipients. The author provides a thorough analysis of the primary meanings of the Greek verbs bapto and baptizo, arguing that immersion is essential to the ordinance and that these terms do not have any other meaning in the New Testament. The author also examines the examples of baptism in the New Testament where details are given, such as the baptism of Jesus, John's baptism, and the baptism of the Ethiopian eunuch. He argues that these examples are consistent with the meaning of the word baptizo as immersion, and that there is no evidence to support the view that baptism was administered by pouring or sprinkling in the early church. The author also addresses the broader historical and literary context of baptism, discussing the practice of proselyte baptism among the Jews and the development of infant baptism in the Christian church. He argues that infant baptism was not instituted by Christ and that it is not supported by Scripture or early Christian tradition. Ultimately, this book provides a comprehensive and persuasive argument for the position that baptism is immersion and that it is only to be administered to believers. This book offers valuable insights for anyone interested in understanding the history and significance of Christian baptism.
