Using an appropriate marking medium, mark the following chain of Scriptures in your Bible. Write “Baptism” on fly-leaf and then the first verse (index verse). Turn to the first verse in your Bible. Mark the verse and then write the abbreviation “B (x)” in the margin or somewhere near the marked verse. Then write the next verse in the chain to turn to. Continue marking in this fashion until the entire chain is marked. Learning the preceding information, and marking this Scripture chain in your Bible, will equip you to know the truth on this important subject, and to answer false teaching on the subject.
