One of the very noticeable theological battles through church history has been on the subject of baptism.

Infant baptism and baptizing thinking it will help you get to heaven were some of the hottest issues. There have been thousands of people martyred over these issues. Because of such a highly inflamed reaction to baptism through the centuries, it will be well worth examining and dissecting every verse in the Bible on this subject.

The death, burial, and resurrection of Christ is pictured in the Old Testament by the flood and other things to which baptism is also a picture.
