In 2020 AD, the North American fires in the US alone has thus far destroyed 4.7 million acres. The devastation of land and people has left the people numb with grief and disbelief. Yet, this is only a fraction of what is to come in perhaps a much nearer future than we think. Revelation 8:7, the first trumpet, or beginning of the last seven years of Daniel's seventy sevens of years prophecy begins, 7-The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.Forests cover 31 percent of the world's land surface, just over 4 billion hectares. (One hectare = 2.47 acres.) In acres, that is 9.9 billion acres. One third of the trees worldwide is 3.3 billion acres. The current 4.7 million acres, mostly in forested land, equals 1.9 million hectares. As devastating as the current fires around the world have been, consider the devastation of what is to come before Jesus returns. The reality is that the only preparation anyone can make under all circumstances is to be right with God. What makes a true Christian? How can a person know if they are a true Christian? As a new Christian forty-years ago, I wondered if I was a true Christian. Did my acceptance of Jesus and the gospel message take? Or was I still the same person I was before? I am certain these questions and others like them have gone through the minds of others before me and after me. To understand what makes a true Christian and to quell any festering doubt, it is enormously important and even urgent to understand what the Bible teaches about baptism. Two thousand years ago, during the seventy years after Jesus ascended into heaven, some believers got things a bit mixed up about what Jesus taught concerning baptism. Some even got things mixed up while Jesus was still with them. The purpose of this book is to investigate all of the evidence in the Bible in the hope of setting things straight for the safety of all believers.
