Who should be baptized—professing believers only, or professing believers and their non-professing children? In what way should they be baptized— by being dipped under water, or by having water put on them by pouring or sprinkling? As the gospel of Jesus Christ spread across the American frontier in the 19th century, these questions were much disputed— as they are today. Daniel Baker, a Presbyterian evangelist in the 19th century, was used mightily by God to draw many of His elect to Himself. In this short work he offers succinct and clear answers in a straight-forward, simple, and eminently Scriptural manner. Readers of A Plain and Scriptural View of Baptism will gain a better understanding of the doctrine of baptism, specifically why the baptism of infants and baptism by modes other than immersion are in accord with God’s word.
