Symbolic Meaning Of Water Baptism

When we hear the word "Baptism," we first think about water; many religions use it as a sign of faith. Did you realize that the word "Baptism" means more than water? At the beginning of YAHUSHUA's earthly ministry, YAHUAH sent John the Baptist to the nation of Israel to call that nation to repentance. Read Matthew 3:11, which states, “11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance. but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Ruach Ha’Kodesh, and with fire.” John baptized the nation of Israel with water; he said that YAHUSHUA would come and baptize them with the Ruach Ha’Kodesh (Holy Ghost) and with fire. There are many types of "Baptisms" in the Bible, but what is the significance of the “water?” Why is it necessary for the “water” to be “living water?” Do we need a repentant heart before we are immersed? These are a few of the questions that will be answered.

Is believer’s baptism the clear teaching of the New Testament Scriptures? What are the historical and theological challenges to believer’s baptism? What are the practical applications for believer’s baptism today? Volume two in the NEW AMERICAN COMMENTARY STUDIES IN BIBLE & THEOLOGY (NACSBT) series for pastors, advanced Bible students, and other deeply committed laypersons addresses these compelling questions. Indeed, Believer’s Baptism begins with the belief that believer’s baptism (as opposed to infant baptism or other faith proclaiming methods) is the clear teaching of the New Testament. Along the way, the argument is supported by written contributions from Andreas Kostenberger, Robert Stein, Thomas Schreiner, Stephen Wellum, Steve McKinion, Jonathan Rainbow, Shawn Wright, and Mark Dever. Users will find this an excellent extension of the long-respected NEW AMERICAN COMMENTARY.

In this book David Pawson teaches what the Bible says about Water Baptism.

The Christian church confesses "one baptism." But the church's answers to how, whom and when to baptize, and even what it means or does, are famously varied. This book provides a forum for thoughtful proponents of three principal evangelical views to state their case, respond to the others, and then provide a summary response and statement. Sinclair Ferguson sets out the case for infant baptism, Bruce Ware presents the case for believers' baptism, and Anthony Lane argues for a mixed practice. As with any good conversation on a controversial topic, this book raises critical issues, challenges preconceptions and discloses the soft points in each view. Evangelicals who wish to understand better their own church's practice or that of their neighbor, or who perhaps are uncertain of their own views, will value this incisive book.
