I'm New Here

Notes from Barclay

Things we need to know about baptism in this passage:

It was adult baptism that Paul is talking about. It doesn’t mean he is speaking against infant baptism, but the experience that most would have would be an adult baptism.

Baptism in the early church was closely connected with profession of faith.

Usually, baptism was total immersion.

Three great truths in this passage:

We do not seek to take advantage of God’s grace.

We are committed to a new way of life.

We identify as being in Christ.
