The Baptismal Fork In The Road Deciding At The “Fork”  What is the one who stands at the fork and is interested in baptism to do?  The only safe thing to do…he must compare what a church teaches re: baptism to the inspired word of God

The Baptismal Fork In The Road Deciding At The “Fork”  Only then will he know the correct path to take that will lead him to God Psa 119:105
