Time Stamp Map0:00 - Introduction1. 1:11 About BibleThinker2. 2:46 What is baptism, what does it do, and what does it declare?3. 5:23 Is baptism purely a symbol, or is there something spiritual that happens when a person is baptized? Does baptism affect salvation?4. 6:35 When a person makes a profession of faith, should they be baptized right away, or should there be a waiting period for their leaders to observe their conduct before allowing them to be baptized?5. 8:02 Is pedo-baptism (infant baptism) biblical? And is it biblical to draw a parallel between circumcision and baptism?6. 13:51 When studying Scripture, what is the difference between a descriptive text and a prescriptive text?7. 14:55 Time stamp #5 continued (circumcision vs. baptism)8. 16:09 What does the New Testament say is the parallel we should draw from the Old Testament practice of circumcision?9. 18:14 What passages of Scripture do pedo-baptists refer to in support of their belief?10. 24:22 What is the difference between infant baptism and infant dedication?11. 26:00 Even though baptism isn't salvific, is there any harm in baptizing infants just as a blessing?

0:00.0	Hey everybody, Mike Winger here. What you're about to see is a flashback to an interview I did
0:04.8	three years ago in July of 2018 with Remnant Radio. I think this interview has a lot of value
0:11.3	though because while I've never uploaded it on my channel, it does have content I haven't shared
0:15.7	elsewhere about the topic of baptism. We cover a ton of different things. For that reason,
0:20.0	there's timestamps down below. So you can kind of bounce around, find exactly what is most
0:23.8	beneficial for you, what you feel is the stuff that you want to know. I hope that this is a blessing
0:28.1	to you and that you are strengthened and encouraged in the Word of God today. God bless you.
