Download or read book It Takes a Church to Baptize written by Scot McKnight and published by Brazos Press. This book was released on 2018-08-21 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The issue of baptism has troubled Protestants for centuries. Should infants be baptized before their faith is conscious, or does God command the baptism of babies whose parents have been baptized? Popular New Testament scholar Scot McKnight makes a biblical case for infant baptism, exploring its history, meaning, and practice and showing that infant baptism is the most historic Christian way of forming children into the faith. He explains that the church's practice of infant baptism developed straight from the Bible and argues that it must begin with the family and then extend to the church. Baptism is not just an individual profession of faith: it takes a family and a church community to nurture a child into faith over time. McKnight explains infant baptism for readers coming from a tradition that baptizes adults only, and he counters criticisms that fail to consider the role of families in the formation of faith. The book includes a foreword by Todd Hunter and an afterword by Gerald McDermott.

Book excerpt: This book demonstrates that believer's baptism did not simply disappear after the apostolic era, but continued to be the accepted practice for centuries.

Book excerpt: What beliefs are core to the Christian faith? This book is here to help you understand the reason for your hope as a Christian so that you can see it with fresh sight and invite others into the conversation. A lot of Christians take their story—the narratives that give rise to their beliefs—for granted. They pray, go to church, perhaps even read their Bible. But they might be stuck if a stranger asked them to explain what they believe and why they believe it. Author, pastor, and theologian Mike Horton unpacks the essential and basic beliefs that all Christians share in a way that is easy to understand and applicable to our lives today. And in a way that will make you excited to be a Christian! Core Christianity covers topics like: Jesus as both fully God and fully man. The doctrine of the Trinity. The goodness of God despite a broken world. The ways God speaks. The meaning of salvation. What is the Christian calling? Includes discussion questions for individual or group use. This introduction to the basic doctrines of Christianity is perfect for those who are new to the faith, as well as those who have an interest in deepening their understanding of what it means to be a follower of Jesus Christ.

Download or read book What About the Thief written by Bishop James C. Bailey, Ph.D. and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2008-05-16 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Both Christians and non-Christians alike are inundated with questions and uncertainties of water baptism. Jesus spoke of water baptism as a Must, [Greek word: dei: it is, (was) necessary]. Jesus said, "Verily, Verily, I say unto thee; You must be born again;" (Greek word: anagennao, pronounced, an-ag-en-nah ?-o), meaning to bear again, or beget again. "Again," is an adverb, meaning, at another time, or on another occasion, repeating what has happened or been done before. Legitimate questions: Is total immersion in water necessary? What is the purpose of immersion water baptism? Does formulation make a difference in baptism, according to the Holy Scriptures? Is baptism just a public confession of faith, somewhat like, coming out of the closet? When do we get the blood washing for our sins? Why do we need to use Jesus' name is baptism? The thief on the cross next to Jesus was never baptized. How did he hang there in the presence of Jesus, who made water baptism mandatory, and make it into the paradise of God without it? According to Jesus in St. John chapter 3, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God. Many deceived souls are seduced from the instructions of Christ, exploited through lust of the flesh; distracted through lust of the eyes, tempted from humility through the pride of life, and X'ed from the book of witness and record, by evil performances - dictated by the wiles of the devil. The thief on the cross, next to Jesus, was not born of water and the Holy Ghost was not yet given when he died, according to scriptures.What qualified him? There are biblical accounts of people ending up in heaven or paradise, as well as others ending up in hell...So...What About The Thief?
