Yes, believer’s baptism is merely a symbol of the believers commitment, and seriousness to God….for whatever that is worth. Not much, for anyone outside of the Lord Jesus, Himself.
But in a biblical Baptism, where God is doing the Baptizing, then something is REALLY happening. The Living God is actually choosing to make us His own in Baptism, totally apart from any commitment on our part.
Isn’t that great! ( I know some of you really detest that notion – but that’s ok )
Actually it is great, and liberating, and assuring.
Give this one ten minutes (out of the seventeen) and see if there’s maybe a chink in the armor of ‘believer’s baptism’.
