​About the event:

​

Lots of churches believe in baptism but differ on (1.) the meaning of baptism and (2.) who should be baptized. Dr. Stephen Wellum and Dr. Thomas Schreiner, two well-published authors and theologians, are joining together to discuss the importance of believer’s baptism and to oppose infant baptism.

​
