EXCERPTS FROM "The Secret About Infant Baptism That Everyone's Missing"
FROM THE BOOK:
"Now is the time that the truth about water baptism must become clear, for it is primarily the teaching of two modes of water baptism and the value assigned to each that has kept the Church separated for centuries.
"There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all."
-EPHESIANS 4:4-6, EMPHASIS ADDED
God's View of Baptism and the Church
Studying the subject of water baptism is important, for the Bible says there are seven doctrines of the faith that we must understand if we are to mature as Christians, one of which, according to Hebrews 6:1-2, is the doctrine of baptisms. If the Bible considers baptism to be as important as eternal judgement and resurrection of the dead, then surely we can take the time to study it, too.
| "Therefore, leaving the discussion of the elementary principles of Christ, let us go on to perfection, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, of the doctrine of baptisms, of laying on of hands, of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgement." HEBREWS 6:1-2, EMPHASIS ADDED |
Discovering and teaching the one, true baptism will unify the Church that Jesus Christ left here on Earth. This is very important because Jesus’ last earthly prayer on the night before He was crucified was for unity in the Church. He asked the Father for unity in the Church so that all could discover that God loves them and desires reconciliation with them. He wanted them to know of God’s love so that they could all believe and be brought into the safety of His Fold. Surely Jesus is returning soon. The time is now for the Father to grant the request of His only Son! Unity will come as denominations restudy baptism and change their church doctrines to agree with the Bible.
Is it important to our personal life that we be baptized in water after we believe? Yes! Fractures will heal as the whole Church acknowledges and teaches the one baptism of Scripture. Not only will peace enter our soul (I Peter 3:21) but when we submit to water baptism, we show God that our faith is genuine. Water baptism is the God-given sign of our faith."
