Baptism is a telling example of a point of biblical theolgy that virtually everyone would think they understand, but it's one that rarely gets close attention. Christian traditions rarely examine the theological dilemmas that their own positions on baptism cause by creating tension with other points of doctrine. In this first session, i want to briefly define two terms so we're all on the same page. There are range of viewpoints and associated jargon that come with the topic of baptism.
