The author helps us to see that in the New Testament era many of the baptisms were of adults who came to saving faith after having lived in sin for a time.

Let no one assert that the writer does not believe in conversion. He does.

The whole process is the more excellent way. This book deserves wide reading and earnest acceptance. J.C. Wenger
