Water Baptism - Paperback

by Harold H. Milton (Author)

Water baptism is necessary for human redemption. There are those who are taught that water baptism has no part in our salvation; that to have faith in the Lord Jesus is all that is necessary. However, the New Testament sets forth very plainly that we must do more than believe in the Lord Jesus if we are to be found acceptable to him. The Son of God only commends those who look to him for salvation. Within the pages of this book, you will become acquainted with the biblical history of water baptism. The author will discuss this ordinance's first appearance in the New Testament, and then follow it through the lives of John the Baptist and Jesus Christ, and the teachings of the apostles after Jesus ascended back to the Father.

Author Biography

Harold Milton was born in Marietta, Ohio in a log cabin on a farm in 1913. He had four sisters. He loved the trees and the woods, digging ginseng, writing books, tailoring, the Church of Christ, and most of all, God. Although he only had an 8th grade education, he remedied that when he was 80 years old, receiving his G.E.D. in 1993. He spent the 1940s, '50s, '60s, and '70s writing novels and short stories he never was able to publish. Having Harold's writings published has been a labor of love for his niece, Janice Blanton. He took her in when she was orphaned at a young age, and she is forever grateful for his love and care.
