Michael Green offers biblical and ecumenical answers to disputed questions about baptism. The gateway into the church. An individual's testimony to faith and repentance. The reception of the Holy Spirit. The meaning of baptism varies wildly between different Christian traditions. Seeking common ground, Michael Green turns to Scripture to assess the varieties of baptismal theology. Though Green assents that baptism is no substitute for saving faith, he endorses infant baptism, confronting common objections head-on. He also addresses the related problems of confirmation and rebaptism. Green's lively and clear argument will challenge and intrigue readers of all denominations. No library descriptions found. |

He reviews the Biblical material on Baptism, and deals with practical questions about differing views (Green as an Anglican is a proponent of Infant Baptism). His style is irenic and generous. This is a good resource to have on your shelf. ( )
