Popular Reformed theologian and founder of DesiringGod.org John Piper recently laid out five reasons why baptism is an important practice for Christians to engage in.
Baptism is a Christian practice in which an individual, either an adult, child or baby, depending on specific theological tradition or circumstance, is either sprinkled with water or dipped into water to represent their becoming a Christian.

A Plea and a Warning for “Evangelicalism”
“I’m surprised people are still even trying to run in those circles.”
That’s what my colleague a New Testament scholar who signs up to all the ecumenical creeds and staunchly defends the inspiration of Scripture said to me. And by “people”, he was specifically referring to Bible and Theology Profs running in conservative evangelical circles.
It’s simply assumed and one sees it again and again in practice that if you get the academic training, you will find life in many evangelical churches difficult, if not impossible.
But why? Why do most Bible scholars and Theologians say: “I give up. I’m exhausted. It’s time to go Anglican/Episcopalian/Methodist/Presbyterian, etc.?”
