A clear, scriptural case for the ongoing, perpetual observance of baptism and the Lord’s Supper, grounded in early Christian practice and biblical authority.
This study presents a historical and theological look at the question of whether certain Christian ordinances remain binding. It follows a careful examination of Scripture, personal reflection, and the way early believers practiced faith. The text weighs arguments about what baptism and the supper meant in the New Testament era and how those meanings relate to modern religious communities.
Readers will follow the author’s method of testing beliefs against the Holy Scriptures, considering church discipline, and weighing tradition against the witness of the Apostles. The work includes discussion of how different groups have understood these ordinances and what it would mean to adhere to or revise those practices today.
