Baptism is not just a profession of faith. Baptism is the rite of entry into the covenant, and without understanding the covenant, we cannot properly understand baptism.
What is Covenant? In a biblical sense, it is a legal bond between two or more parties--"legal" meaning that each party makes a statement (confession) and agrees to specific terms, with consequences invoked on each party for failure to keep the terms. Why then is this so important to understand? Because this is how God chose to link the unseen to the seen, the supernatural to the material or created order here on earth. This in no way diminishes the role of the Holy Spirit and his work within the hearts of men. It merely gives outward manifestation to the power of God's Spirit.

Author John G. Crawford changes the discussion on a host of issues ranging from the Covenant institutions as they relate to the family, the state and the Church. From creation to infant baptism, Crawford connects the dots and shows how understanding God's Covenant explains everything.
