A.J. Higgins examines the Christian doctrine of baptism from Matthew 28:19, explaining its mandate as a command from Scripture, its proper manner through full immersion as modeled in the New Testament, and its core motive of obedience and love for Christ. He clarifies what baptism is not—noting that it does not remove sin, serve as a rite of church entrance, or impart greater holiness—while emphasizing that it functions as an answer of a good conscience toward God and a public confession identifying the believer with the death, burial, and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ.
