The sound of the immersionist’s voice is heard everywhere. Very few voices are raised in opposition. Obviously, some immersionists speak overmuch on the subject; but just as truly, most of those who disagree with them say far too little. Who knows whether the times are not now ripe for a fresh study? The words “one Lord, one faith, one baptism” (Eph 4:5) clearly indicate there is only one baptism. As a consequence, the meaning is single and the mode is single.

In this study, Jay Adams provides a compelling case for the Presbyterian practice of pouring in baptism and shows that other modes fail to do full justice to the biblical data. This book is short, but it’s packed with keen exegetical insight!
