Christians who love the Bible sometimes disagree about baptism: should it be given only to those who personally repent and believe (believer’s baptism), or can it also be given to the children of believing parents (infant baptism)? This Scripture-first guide lays out the strongest arguments both sides use, lists every clear baptism event recorded in the New Testament, and highlights what is explicit versus what is inferred. It also includes a focused section on the New Covenant and practical SOS self-discovery prompts to help you reach a conscience-level conclusion before God.

This self-discovery Bible study invites readers to explore what Scripture says about Satan using the SOS method: What does the text say? What should I obey? Who can I share this with?
