Open Handout
Does God do something special through baptism? Over the centuries millions of Christians have said, “Yes! God works in the waters of baptism, not only giving a sign and seal of His grace, but actually delivering to the baptized His regenerating Spirit.” Others, however, who have permitted their understanding of baptism to be guided by mere human reason and sight, declare that baptism is merely man’s response to the grace of God obtained elsewhere.
