In John 3, Nicodemus encounters Jesus at night and is told that to enter

the Kingdom of God, a person must be born of water and spirit. Nicodemus, a

good-hearted teacher of Israel who will later stick his neck out for Jesus,

is confused about what it means to be born again. Such is the case for so

many Christians. This lesson deals with water baptism, an extremely

controversial topic for much of the church today. We take a close look at

Scriptures in both the Old and New Testaments that address water baptism,

as well as at some of the stumbling blocks that make baptism such a

difficult teaching for so many.
