Baptism has been a hot topic down through the ages–who should be baptized, why, for what purpose, are there any prerequisites, what is accomplished in it, does it matter, is it essential for salvation or have anything at all to do with it, what is baptism (is it sprinkling, pouring, immersion, or take your choice?). So many questions but are there no answers? Was God such a poor communicator that he could not make the subject clear? What does the New Testament say about the topic? What did the early church after the apostles passing have to say on the subject? Surely, there are some answers if we will accept them.

Below you will find links to many articles written by me (Denny Smith) on the subject as well as audio sermons on the topic by a friend of mine–Waymon Swain. I hope they help.
