I'm surprised that he didn't include John Murray's Christian Baptism. | The point is, most Baptists believe that the baptism is something that the recipient is saying to the world/the Church/God, not something that God is saying to the recipient/the Church/the world. | Unfortunately, 'most' baptists have no idea what baptism means except maybe church membership. | I would say that is probably true of 'most' presbyterians as well (except for those on this board).
