Baptism: is it from men or from Heaven?
This is the same question Jesus asked the Pharisees in Matthew 21:25 and
the same question we must answer today.
This is a book for the committed follower of Christ and not the casual
inquirer. It is an examination into the comprehensive truth of what the
Bible teaches regarding God’s administration of baptism upon His
people.
Mark David Cooper performs a deep analysis of God instilling His grace on
His followers through a fivefold baptism: living water, the Trinity, the
Holy Spirit, fire, and Christ’s blood. He challenges the reader to move past
common, elementary understandings and grasp the mature, biblical concept of
one gracious (fivefold) baptism from God.
After reading this book, the reader will appreciate the impact of what God
does for us through His lavish grace.
EXCERPT
Every person struggles. Regardless of our size, shape, color, economic status, education, position, physical condition, emotional condition, or spiritual position, we all struggle. All of us have something in our life we would love God to remove. It might be guilt, it might be addiction, it might be loneliness, it might be sadness, it might be a loss, or it might be fear. The list goes on and on. What we must understand is that everyone struggles. No one is unaccompanied in their struggle. God says to you today, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.” What God says is that what we suffer from is the very thing that will show us His love, power, and glory. This grace is beyond our capability to understand. What we think of as a deterrent, what we believe disqualifies us, what the world says is worthless, God says that He will make those conditions the strength of our witness and the source of proclaiming Jesus Christ. What we can understand is our inadequacies and failures. This comprehension and the knowledge that God completely covers, eliminates, and forgets our human, sinful condition show us a glimpse of His grace.
