Anyone read this? I picked it up today, it seems very interesting so far. I enjoy hard hitting, in your face messages.

Not sure what you mean by this CH. Piper says very clearly that he (and his church) believes baptism is for believers only and by immersions. He just does not see that as something that should keep people from fellowshipping together in the church.

So far, it is a really good, hard-hitting book. It reminds me a little of MacArthur's The Gospel According to Jesus or Faith Works: The Gospel According to the Apostles.

They were an eye-opener for me as to the lack of true Gospel preaching and practice that was found in the modern church.
