Bible Question (short): Conversion THEN baptism...verses?? |
Question (full): I have a friend who believes in infant baptism, I personally do not and never have. I believe that a person shoudl only be baptised if they have accepted Christ as their personal savior. IT is a form of obedience right? As we were discussing it, he asked me for some scripture reffrences to help him understand my point of view. I could not think of a single one. I guess it's just one of those areas of belief that my church has always held to and I never really knew any of the verses to back it up. Does anyone know where I can find these? |
