Baptism "What About Re-Baptism" By Michael Reed March 11, 2012.a.m (Acts 18:24-19:5) Click to Listen

In our study of baptism we have seen that it is essential to salvation (Mark 16:16; Acts 2:38; Acts 22:16) and to becoming a disciple of Christ (Matthew 28:19-20; Gal 3:27). The Greek word can only mean immersion. Pouring and sprinkling do not fit the figures used to describe baptism in the New Testament.
Scholars are unanimous that immersion was the practice in the New Testament.

Another question that is often raised: Is the ever a need to be re-baptized?
What about those who were sprinkled?
What about those baptized as infants?
What about those baptized believing they were already saved?

In this study we will examine the question of re-baptism.
