"BAPTISM"  
  
                        For Your Further Study  
  
For a much more in-depth study on the subject of "baptism," I recommend  
the following books (you can purchase the book online by clicking on the  
title):  
  
1) Baptism In The New Testament (G. R. Beasley-Murray, Eerdmans  
   Publishing Company, Grand Rapids, Michigan, 1962, 442 pages)  
  
   This is an excellent treatment of the subject from a scholarly  
   point of view, by one of the foremost scholars among the Baptist  
   denomination.  He readily admits that his conclusions run counter  
   to the views held by those in his own denomination.  
  
2) Baptism And The Remission Of Sins (Edited by David W. Fletcher,  
   College Press Publishing Co., Joplin, Missouri, 1990, 432 pages)  
  
   This is a collection of articles surveying throughout church  
   history the view that baptism is for the remission of sins. It  
   also discusses controversies surrounding "re-baptism."
