In the debate regarding baptism too often there is not enough time spent considering the contexts of the many passages that make reference to it. But upon a closer examination it readily becomes apparent that there are more than one type of baptism in the New Testament.

We continue in this examination of the story of Cornelius the Centurion and Peter the Apostle.
