Description
“Or are you unaware that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? We were therefore buried with Him through baptism into death, so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the Father’s glory, we too may walk in newness of life.” — Romans 6:3-4
What would you think of a denomination that built its core doctrine and baptismal practices on a single proof-text—one that doesn’t even mention water or the method of baptism? If this passage isn’t about water baptism, then what is it about? And what does the entirety of Scripture actually teach on the subject?
Following the example of the Bereans, Timothy Klaver meticulously examines every biblical passage related to baptism, including every recorded instance of baptism in Scripture. Like a skilled investigator, he carefully analyzes the details, uncovering truths that every Christian must grapple with and embrace—regardless of upbringing, prior teaching, or current beliefs.
Sound biblical interpretation requires exegesis—examining each passage in its context, noting its specific details, and aligning it with the full counsel of God’s Word. Once Scripture has spoken, our responsibility is clear: to submit our understanding and practices to its authority.
