Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the historical origins and complexities surrounding the debate over Christian baptism, specifically examining the difference between infant baptism and believer's baptism. The author meticulously examines the teachings of the Bible, as well as the writings of early church fathers, to uncover the truth about the practice of baptism in the early Christian church. The author traces the development of the practice of immersion, ultimately showing that it was not the original nor exclusive form of baptism practiced by early Christians. The book argues that infant baptism is a valid and biblical practice that has been practiced since the earliest days of the church, and that believer's baptism is a later development that arose from a misunderstanding of the Bible and the history of the church.
