Shall we obey the command of Christ as He intended or shall we obey the command in a way that pleases us? Thomas Withrow clears all controversy surrounding Baptism, founding his claims solely on Scripture.
Baptism changes one's state from an alien to a citizen of God's kingdom, surrenders one's life to faith and obedience, and opens the gates of Heaven. Imagine not doing it as per the instructions Christ gave.
Withrow discusses two topics in this small book, the methods of baptism and its subjects. First he elaborates on immersion, pouring, and sprinkling, then he states whether baptism should be performed on infants or adult believers.
He's organized in his thoughts, and he lays the facts of both sides of the dispute before he affirms a definitive conclusion, giving the readers space to think and decide for themselves.
Une défense brève et claire de la position réformée sur le mode et les sujets du baptême, comprenant une réfutation de l'immersionnisme et de l'anabaptisme.
Quelques arguments que je n'avais pas lu ailleurs, une belle illustration en conclusion. Loin d'être le meilleur sur le sujet mais utile tout de même, notamment pour ses remarques de bon sens.
