Baptism: Its Purpose, Practice and Power

“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.” Through the examination of biblical evidence and teaching, Michael Green provides a bold, clear explanation of the different approaches of baptism: as an infant, as a believer and by the Holy Spirit. Common ground between the churches is emphasized, along with the insistence that baptism is no substitute for personal, saving faith in Christ. Even so, the author’s conviction of the validity and benefits of infant baptism, in appropriate circumstances, is presented with thoughtfulness and energy.
