Christian Baptism
Description
The Lord Jesus Christ left but two ordinances to be observed by His disciples: Baptism and the Lord's Supper. As one reads and rereads the New Testament, and particularly The Acts of the Apostles, which records the history of the early Church, a certain definite pattern of procedure will emerge which characterized the early days of Christianity.
The reader will observe that the rite of baptism, commanded by the Lord Jesus, was performed once upon a person, after he had professed faith in the Son of God; and that this ordinance involved the entrance of the candidate into the water, his immersion under the water and his emergence from the water. (Matt. 28:19-20; Acts 8:38-39).
An analysis of the contents has also been included, which will not only aid the reader to view the subject as a whole, but also enable him to turn to any part of the subject in which he is particularly interested.
