Baptism According to Scripture

This study examines every relevant Scripture passage to determine what the Bible teaches about baptism, tracing its roots in Jewish purification rites and proselyte admission, surveying Old Testament imagery of water, John the Baptist's ministry, and apostolic practice in Acts. It analyzes ceremonial washings, sacramental language, and the relation between baptism and covenant membership, weighing textual evidence to clarify baptism's signification, administration, and role within Christian instruction and church order.
