Greg Tyree has thoughtfully, carefully, and vigorously done just that in this wonderful little book, "What the Bible REALLY Says about Baptism. You will certainly appreciate his candid writing accompanied by his careful style that will lead any thinking Christian who has yet to be baptized to say "What hinders me from being baptized?" Dr. Tyree clearly sets forth the Biblical foundation for the historic doctrine of believer's baptism by immersion. Hours of research and Biblical study have once again paid off for all of us who will read and learn from the truth contained in this book. His years of pastoral experience as well as hours of laborious preparation provide a vast pool of knowledge from which to pull. But more than that, this man loves God and His inspired Word-that alone infinitely qualifies Dr. Tyree to write this book. In a day and age when the Church is suffering from "truth deficit" we are grateful for men like Greg Tyree who unashamedly stand on the solid rock of God's truth as revealed to us in the Scriptures. This is a work that ought to be read carefully and repeatedly with Bible in hand It is my pleasure to recommend What the Bible REALLY Says about Baptism for your reading, study, encouragement, and challenge. Joe L. Fauth Pastor, Calvary Bible Church, Wrightsville, PA President, Spread of Grace Ministries In What the Bible Really Says about Baptism I will show you from the Bible that "believer's baptism" (baptism by immersion that follows conversion or regeneration) is the correct mode of baptism. I will show the error of infant baptism (pedobaptism), as well as the falsity of sprinkling and pouring (effusion). I will demonstrate the meaning and purpose of baptism, as well as its significance regarding assimilation and membership in the local church. I will not do this by merely quoting theologians and church historians, but mostly by appealing to the teachings of the Bible. So if you are concerned with what the Bible teaches, and you desire to be obedient to God's Word, then this book may be just what the doctor ordered. Beware; you may change your views. If you do, will you be courageous enough to act on your new convictions?
