Chapter
13 Baptism
IDEAS
(Note: Although these questions arise from
specific sections of the chapter, please allow
the whole chapter to possibly supplement your
answers.)
What
did Peter regard Baptism to be?
Discuss
four images of Baptism; support with Bible passages.
Reflect
on the relationship of Baptism and the Church.
How
does the image of "putting on Christ"
relate Baptism to the Christian life?
How
does the distinction of Law and Gospel help shape
our thinking about the "abuse of baptism"?
Respond
to the claim by some that since baptizo means
to immerse, only baptisms by immersions are true
baptisms. Discuss the four responses of the church
to those who would deny the practice of infant
baptism.
Why
are baptisms "normally and ideally"
done by a pastor in a worship service? Why is
the caveat, "normally and ideally,"
used?
What
is the role of sponsors?
What
should be the purpose of other traditions associated
with baptism?
