註釋Baptism, a universal Christian activity, should be a mark of unity, yet practice and theology are often divisive. The Author explores the biblical foundations for Baptism and explains the various modes of Baptism to provide assurances that God is at work through the water and the word. His thesis is that through baptism a person enters into a new life, with a new relationship to god. It is an abundant life.Christians often deal with baptism in relation to death ("What happens to those who die unbaptized?"), the early church would more likely have asked, "What happens to those who live without baptism?" The point comes through over and over again in this book, that baptism is a baptism unto life. From Scripture, and from broad pastoral experience, Morris Vaagenes unfolds an appreciation of baptism both for everyday life and for eternal life.
