For one thing, don't make the huge mistake of starting with John the Baptist when you start studying baptism.
Rather, a person should start with Genesis 6-9. Then they should take a look at Exodus 14-15.
I think those 2 passages are very important pieces of a fully Biblical theology of baptism. And they are far, far, far too often ignored by both credos and paedos, In my humble opinion.
True but you would admit that your bias is showing through right?
After all a baptist would never start with the OT (at least that has been my experience). One baptist's tract/book I read awhile ago stated that he began with the NT which only confirmed what he saw in the OT. I personally believe that is the wrong approach since all doctrine proceeds from the OT (Luke 24:44; 2 Timothy 3:15-17) but then, I am a paedobaptist!
