The Doctrine of Baptisms - English

A baptism is a transition - out of an
old way of living into a totally new way of living. It is a total
immersion. All of our being is involved. This booklet presents
an explanation of the three different forms of baptism
presented in the Bible, namely,

• John the Baptist-a baptism of repentance
• Christian baptism in water-a baptism of commitment
• the baptism in the Holy Spirit

Learn the significance of the first two of these baptisms and
the evidence of each in the life of the believer. There were
three conditions for John's baptism and four other conditions
for Christian baptism. The final baptism-in the Holy Spirit-is
covered in the booklet Immersion in the Spirit.
