What is Baptism? Many church bodies have developed their own versions of this ancient Christian rite, but what does Scripture say? This book demonstrates that baptism is a mighty act of God in which he washes away sin and creates saving faith. Through this act, sinners are born again as children of God and become living members of Christ's spiritual body, the church. The author also teaches readers that Baptism has meaning for the Christian's everyday life of faith.
