Can infants believe? Why do we baptize infants? Are babies really sinful? This thorough and practical presentation of holy baptism addresses these issues and other questions asked by concerned parents and other Christians. It features a thorough and readable study of the pertinent Scripture passages and looks at the practices of the early Christian church.
In addition, this second edition includes a section with answers to “lingering questions” regarding immersion, the gift of the Holy Spirit, the necessity of repentance, the question of “Once saved, always saved”, and the saving belief in the gospel message.
