Calling all Theoblogians #3

Baptism would be a good theological headbutting issue to discuss in this almost non-forgotten series of mine but.....

Bek has beaten me to it and has raised some good questions on this post of hers. So rather than duplicate what she's done, why don't you head over to her blog and give your opinions on this topic? I'm sure she'd appreciate more than just mine!

Hmmm where there's the thank you for directing people your way huh? :P

My father-in-law wrote an article on baptism last year. It may answer some of your questions. Now if only I could figure out how to attach a word doc to a comment.

I would attempt to answer some of the questions myself but I figured it's better to ask them as I'm no theological guru and it'll probably take ages for me to get good answers. I know what I believe already but that may not be right.

I'll keep trying to attach the document, if I can't I'll email it to you. It answers some of your questions such as what is baptism?, the theology/purpose behind baptism, meaning of the word 'baptism' and some history of baptism before Christianity ie. John the Baptist.
