Product Details

Does everyone who joins a local church need to be baptized? What should churches that practice believer's baptism do about those who were "baptized" as infants? This is a live question for many churches today, and it raises a host of other crucial questions: What is the meaning and function of baptism? Does baptism have any inherent relationship to the local church? How do baptism and the Lord's Supper fit together? What exactly is "church membership"? What does it mean to be going public with your faith? To answer the question of whether baptism is required for church membership, Going Public seeks to rebuild ecclesiological foundations, digging deep into the Bible's teaching on baptism, the Lord's Supper, and church membership. Bobby Jamieson describes how baptism and the Lord's Supper transform a scattered group of Christians into a gathered local church. It traces the trajectory of a church's birth, how gospel people form a gospel polity.= After building and summarizing a positive theological case for why baptism is required for church membership, the book answers objections, poses challenges to the open membership view, and applies this theological vision to the local church's practice of baptism, the Lord's Supper, and church membership.
