"What about Infant Baptism?" By Michael Reed March 4, 2012 a.m. (Click to Listen)

In the previous studies we have seen that baptism is essential salvation Mk 16:16; Ac 2:38; 22:16  and to becoming a disciple of Christ Mt 28:19-20; Gal 3:27. The Greek words for baptism or baptize can only mean immersion. Pouring and sprinkling do not fit with figures used to describe baptism in the N.T. Scholars are unanimous in pointing out that immersion was the practice in the Bible and early church. Two more questions remain which are often in the minds of people: Should infants be baptized? and Is there ever a need to be "re-baptized?"

This study shall consider the question "What about infant baptism?"
