Top Highlights
“Circumcision was a sign of ethnic continuity; baptism was a sign of spiritual reality.” (source)

If we are to be in sync with the entire New Testament and the entire early church we must take baptism seriously and practice it faithfully.” (source)
“John’s radical call to repentance was being given to Jews who were already part of the historic people of God. These are the people John was telling to repent and be baptized for the forgiveness of their sins.” (source)
“God calls us today to repent and believe on Christ alone for salvation and to receive the new sign of the new covenant of the people of God: the sign of repentance and faith, baptism.” (source)
