A Lutheran and a Baptist Discuss Infant Baptism

Few theological issues have been more divisive in church history than baptism. Yet today many Christians avoid engaging the topic of baptism altogether, and many are unaware where the differences lie between various perspectives.

In this video Austin Suggs of Gospel Simplicity moderates a discussion between Dr. Jordan Cooper (Lutheran) and Dr. Gavin Ortlund (Baptist) on the proper subjects of baptism. This is the first of three conversations, the second of which will cover the meaning of baptism, and the third of which will be a live Q+A.
