  This blog is the result of an article I recently read written by Mike Mazzalono and can be found in its entirety at BibleTalk.tv .  I have done some editing but have kept the original pretty in tack.  Mr. Mazzalong, in my view, has done an excellent and concise, overview of the topic, “ 5 Views On The Role Of Baptism ”. Christians throughout history have agreed on the importance of baptism, but not on its precise role in salvation. Scripture speaks about baptism in profound terms–linking it to forgiveness, new birth, discipleship, and union with Christ. Yet various traditions interpret these passages differently based on broader theological frameworks.

Let's see how much pop culture that you know. A quick question. I think everyone here has heard or seen the program called The Price Is Right with Drew Carey. Does anybody know who was before Drew Carey? Drew Carey began in 2007, who was before Drew Carey? Bob Barker. You remember Bob Barker, the one who was before him. Now, this is for you oldies. What show did Bob Barker host before he hosted The Price Is Right, anybody know? Truth or Consequences. There you go. Truth or Consequences. Only the over-90-year-old people know that particular reference. Truth or Consequences, that program was funnier than the present one. It asked contestants certain questions, and if they didn't know the answers, or the truth, they would have to suffer the consequences. And the consequences usually had something to do with getting a pie in the face, or some other silly thing that would happen. So, you're always afraid of the consequences, of something that would happen. Well, on a more seriou...
