Have you ever wondered why we Lutherans focus so much on the doctrine of baptism? Have you ever had someone respond with extreme negativity towards you over the teaching of infant baptism?What is occurring in this rejection; what is going on beneath the surface?Today, I had the opportunity to visit with Rod Zwonitzer of the "Cross Defense" Radio Show on 850 KFUO-AM St. Louis, MO. We visited on the subject of infant baptism and why some Christians oppose it.This conversation with Rod was very enjoyable and was Part Three of our conversation on this most excellent topic.. You can access Part One and Part Two of this conversation by CLICKING HERE and by CLICKING HERE. We covered a lot of ground and did so in a fun conversational style. Thus, enjoy the program as you learn about the precious doctrine of Baptism.
