  • About

    WHY AM I DOING THIS?: As much as an amateur blogger and theologian can do this...I want to make you think. I want you to know what you believe and why you believe it. And I want you to believe what you do - not because Mommy and Daddy believed it - but because it is the truth as contained in the Scriptures. I pray that God will use this blog and the resources and links provided here to grow its readers (including me) in the grace and knowledge of Christ. I pray this knowledge will result in a life of obedience that flows - not from fear or a desire to gain God's favor - but from a gratitude of knowing the truth about Who your Creator is, and what your Creator has done for you.

On Baptism – Who Said It

Posted by Brian Thornton on April 28, 2008

“Baptism is ‘the circumcision of Christ’, and it signifies the washing away of sin, personal renewal by the Spirit of God, and membership in the body of Christ.”

Give me your guesses without any google searches.

I want to talk about this one in the next day or so, because the context of this quote is very significant.

    I want to guess Mark Dever…but it could just as easily be Rick Warren. Sounds to be a typical Southern Baptistish definition of baptism…probably using such places as Colossians 2 in its defense.

    Thanks for the guesses, Mike. So, currently we have one vote for Dever and one for Warren. I hope some more of you will take a stab at this one, the answer will be very interesting, I can promise!

    RC Sproul

    Sproul?

    Okay…now we have a vote for Sproul and Dever and Warren. The vote for Sproul seems odd, given the content of the quote relating to baptism.

    Yes odd… I would have retracted it after I re-read the post again. All I processed was circumcision and then posted…

    Stephen,

    I didn’t mean to scare you regarding your guess with my comments. Do you want to retract your guess of Sproul, or keep it in the mix?
