by Michael S. Meadows
In some Christian circles it is an accepted teaching that
placing one's faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ
is not enough to have our sins forgiven. They believe
that good as that faith is, it is incomplete until that
person submits to baptism. It is in the baptismal waters,
it is taught, that their sins are washed away and they are
"born again" (regenerated) by God.
What are we to say in reponse to these verses? Is repentance
and faith not enough to have our sins forgiven?

This book takes a detailed look at the scriptures used to teach that our sins are only cleansed in the waters of baptism. Such questions are also considered as the relationship between the baptizing of infants and baptismal regeneration, and if baptismal regeneration is not a biblical teaching, then can one be saved if they are trusting in their baptism for salvation.
