When Baptism Became Organizational Loyalty
A historical look at how the baptism questions of Jehovah’s Witnesses changed over time
Baptism is one of the most important acts of faith in Christianity. In the New Testament it represents a person’s appeal to God for forgiveness and a clean conscience through faith in Jesus Christ.
“Baptism… now saves you—not the removal of dirt from the flesh, but the appeal to God for a good conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ.”
— 1 Peter 3:21
