Baptism: A Guide to Life from Death is unavailable, but you can change that!

Do You Believe? You’ve been baptized. But do you understand what it means? Baptism is the doorway into membership in the church. It’s a public declaration of the washing away of our sin and the beginning of our new life in Christ. But the sacrament that is meant to unite us is often a spring of division instead. All Christians use water to baptize. All invoke the triune name. Beyond that,...

These three beliefs hang together. The church is the family of the Father, the body of the Son, and the temple of the Spirit because it shares in the new creation that has begun in Jesus. And the church shares in that new creation by hearing the word, confessing sin, assembling at the Lord’s Table, passing through the waters of baptism. Keep this in mind as we move ahead. Baptism is the doorway into membership in the church. Whenever I say, “Baptism does X,” remember what I’ve said about the church.
