Inhaltsangabe

This accessible work investigates the origins, history, and doctrine of baptism. The author examines its evolution from an ancient Jewish practice to its use in the Christian church. By delving into scripture and theological texts, the book reveals key distinctions between Christ's baptism and water baptism. It argues that while water baptism was permitted by Christ as a temporary measure, Christ's baptism is the baptism of the Holy Spirit, which purifies the heart and is the only true baptism. This comprehensive and thought-provoking book offers a valuable perspective on the subject of baptism, shedding light on its historical and theological foundations.
