Episode notes

Baptism is a regenerating bath that actually accomplishes what it says. It's not just a sign or a seal like circumcision was in the Old Testament. The more he cooperates with grace, the more he receives and then finally there is a final justification where you make the best use of this grace.

From his own baptism by John the Baptist to his last commission to his followers to go and make disciples from all nations, Jesus’s ministry is marked by this sacrament. But what does it mean? What are its biblical origins? And who should receive it? In this episode of White Horse Inn, hosts Michael Horton, Justin Holcomb, Bob Hiller, and Walter Strickland discuss the traditional Roman Catholic, Lutheran, Baptist, and Reformed views on the sacrament of baptism.
