What Baptists Must Keep, What We Must Change, and Why
John R. Tyler
Baptism—We've Got It Right...and Wrong considers why Baptists must rethink baptism in this post-denominational age. Tyler reviews what the Bible says about baptism and provides a solid survey. Learn how and why the practice of baptism changed in church history, including the return of believer’s baptism at the dawn of Baptist history.

Baptism—We’ve Got It Right...and Wrong is a decidedly honest look at this biblical and sacramental practice of today's believing church.
The complications arising from different baptismal practices can create confusion for today’s churches. Tyler argues for a renewed focus and understanding of Baptism. Bring renewed vitality to your church's observance of baptism using Tyler's insights.
