Author Description

A Right Division Baptism takes readers on a thorough, Scripture-centered journey into one of the most debated topics in Christianity today: Is water baptism necessary for believers in this present dispensation of grace? For centuries, traditions have dictated the place of baptism in church life-whether as a requirement for salvation, an outward sign of obedience, or a ritual performed on infants to secure their spiritual future. But what does the Bible actually say when "rightly divided" (2 Timothy 2:15)? Drawing from the unchanging authority of the King James Bible, this study examines the clear teaching of the Apostle Paul, who declared that there is but one baptism today-the baptism by the Holy Spirit into the Body of Christ at the moment of faith (Ephesians 4:5). With careful attention to context, the book addresses whether baptism can save, exposes the lack of biblical foundation for infant baptism, and explains why even well-meaning church practices can drift from sound doctrine. It also briefly uncovers the unbiblical and unusual practice of "baptism for the dead" as taught by the Mormons, contrasting it with the true gospel of grace. Written to challenge tradition and uphold truth, A Right Division Baptism calls believers to test every teaching against the rightly divided Word of God, and to rest fully in the finished work of Christ-apart from ritual, apart from law, and apart from the water.
