DESCRIPTION

This booklet sets out the Reformed position on baptism. It is essentially a Bible study, though the writer has drawn on a number of commentators and theologians. After considering the meaning of baptism, the main part is a detailed examination of the texts relating to mode. Not one clear example of baptism by immersion is found in the New Testament. Indeed, the circumstances of text after text point to affusion or aspersion as the only possible mode. This conclusion strengthened by the fact that the baptism of the Holy Spirit is spoken of in terms of coming from above in pouring or sprinkling, and that affusions and aspersions are frequent in the Old Testament. Baptism: Meaning Mode and Subjects concludes with a brief treatment of the covenant position of believer’s children.

This booklet can also be read on-line.
