This brief book is intended as an effort to address the concerns of those who wonder if the ordinance of water baptism is an ordinance that should be practiced today, as well as to encourage a fuller understanding for those who believe it is not an ordinance for today. In addressing these concerns, we will be looking more particularly at the teachings of those who hold to a mid-Acts Pauline dispensation viewpoint with regard to the subject of baptism, such as those in the Berean Bible Society (est. 1940), the Grace Gospel Fellowship (est. 1944), the Grace Ambassadors (est. 1958), and others. Most of this material can also relate to those who hold to a post-Acts (or Acts 28) "ultra-dispensation" viewpoint. It is my prayer that God will guide us in understanding His Word and His Church.
