Description

When and how should children be baptized? What does baptism mean? And what does the Bible teach?

In this episode we explore an important moment parents face: When and how should my child be baptized? Rather than beginning with church tradition, we begin with Scripture—tracing the story of baptism from the Old Testament through the intertestamental period and into the New Testament.

We discuss:

•  What baptism is and why Jesus commanded it 
•  The biblical purpose and meaning of baptism 
•  The Old Testament and Jewish background that prepares us for baptism 
•  When and how baptism should be practiced 
•  The historical development of Catholic, Reformation, and Baptist views of baptism 
•  Why I believe Scripture points to believer's baptism 

Whether you're considering baptism for yourself, your child, or simply want to understand the biblical and historical foundations of baptism, this episode is designed to help you think carefully and faithfully about this important expression of following Christ.
