The issue of baptism plays on the missionary command of Matthew 28:19 "Baptize them in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit" and the 4 citations of Acts where the Baptism is administered in the "Name of Jesus." It is interesting to address the issue of Christian baptism as scholars, from a point of view exegetical, theological and historical, define it. The believer's life is characterized by the fact that receives salvation in Jesus Christ. Baptism is part of this process of salvation, and not merely in a ritual and symbolic, but something much deeper, as it has to do with the conversion and the choices you make in the Christian follow Christ.

In 2000 Adrian Rogers the president of the Southern Baptist Convention made theological and sociological revisions to the 1963 confession. Despite the similarities and the revisions between the two confessions there are major concerns on topics about the doctrine of God. Many pastor-theologians endeavor on what to improve to the confession which has and will continue to impact the Baptist’s history past, present, and future. The 1963 BF&M confessions being revised are the faith and message that was set forth positive teaching the American Baptist believes.
They particularly stress that salvation is accomplished through faith in the Trinity, action and Baptism. Baptism is seen as a compulsory sacrament that all Catholics must participate in although they do accept that one can be baptised just by believing in Jesus Christ: “He said, ‘John indeed baptised with water, but you shall be baptised with the Holy Spirit'” (Acts 11: 15). Anglicans believe that one must be baptised (or christened) in order to receive salvation. They believe that once a person is baptised salvation is instantly granted to them and is only strengthened through “faith alone” (Romans 2: 4-5). Baptism is also compulsory in Anglicanism and must be performed in a certain way unless the person has been baptised as Catholic or Orthodox.
(Stassen, Yeager, & Yoder, 1996, p. 10) Module 4 consists of a clear presentation of the teleological ethical perspective of Niebuhr, as well as his classical typology (and examples from church history) of distinct responses to the enduring problem of how Christians can or should live in a fallen world. This is followed by a thorough analysis and critique of Niehbuhr's model by John Howard Yoder. The Basics of Christ and Culture Briefly, Niebuhr's five types of Christian ethics as noted by Stassen et al. (1996) include the following: · New Law (Christ Against Culture) portrays Christians as a totally new kind of people living by totally new ethical standards at odds with all foundational aspects of worldly cultures. · Natural Law (Christ of Culture) portrays Christians as seeking to accommodate the ethics and values of the Gospel to bring out the very best in existing but imperfect cultures.
