34. Baptism

Last week Matt and Jonathan discussed the primary task of a pastor - preaching the word of God. This week they continue walking through the essential tasks of a pastor by addressing the first of the two sacraments: baptism.What is baptism? Why did Jesus command that we baptize people? Does God do something in a person when they are baptized? Why do Anglicans see a comparison between circumcision in the Old Covenant and baptism in the New Covenant? And, last of all, why do we baptize children of believing parents?We welcome questions and even counter-arguments!
