In this inspirational book, preacher and educator Clarence Larkin explains the characteristics of Baptism which motivated him to join his denomination. Larkin offers in this fine work an in-depth guide to baptism, from its origins in the Gospels, to its character, traditions and doctrine in the modern-day. The aim of baptizing, and its symbolism in Christian belief, are also explained with the use of the Biblical Gospels and other sources. Never one to stray from the very core of his subject, Clarence Larkin keenly tells the reader about the origins of the very word 'Baptism'. The ceremonial procedures, from the view of the baptizer and the person to be baptized, are also discussed. Quotes of the Gospel are frequent, with Larkin striking the tone of clarity which was his custom. The assumption that Baptists believe baptizement is essential to salvation is shown to be incorrect, with Larkin careful to cite the Gospels to support this assertion. The baptism itself is not a literal washing away of sins, but an affirmation of faith in Jesus Christ, his deeds and character, and the purpose of his death. It is up to the baptized person to adhere truthfully to this pledge, and thus attain their salvation. It is here in this book that Larkin reaches out to the pedobaptists - Baptists whom believe in infant baptizement - with a tone of reconciliation. At the time of writing there was marked disagreement between the Baptists in general, and this subgroup, which Larkin sought to make amends. Furthermore, various other denominations are described, providing some insight into how Baptism was organized in the United States in the early 20th century.
