The Necessity of Baptism

Professing Christians may be at all different stages in regards to baptism—perhaps some have been baptized as an infant or sometime later life, or perhaps some are still awaiting baptism; while some may have heard and believed the gospel but have no plans at all to be baptized. The questions that arise are, is baptism optional? Is it necessary for salvation? Considering this in this message, Dr. Sproul explains the importance of the covenant God made with Abraham and “The Necessity of Baptism.”
