John Piper on Baptism
Believers only, on profession of faith
THE POSITION
Believer's baptism by immersion.
WHY THERE IS NO QUOTATIONOne quotation, on spiritual-warfare, from a freely published Ask Pastor John episode, and copyright is not the reason the rest have none. This map quotes MacArthur, Heiser and Sproul at length, all modern authors in copyright, and the Sproul pass was built on freely published video rather than his books. Piper is in the same position: what is missing for the other ten positions is a primary-source pass, which nobody has run. They are established — well-attested accounts of his views, not checked against his own words — and they stay there until someone does the work.
3 Or aren’t you aware that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? 4 We were therefore buried with Him through baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may walk in newness of life.
