Correct Answer

B

Explanation

Baptism in the early church was intimately connected with confession of faith. A man was baptized when he entered the church, and he was entering the church direct from paganism. In baptism a man came to a decision which cut his life in two, a decision which often meant that he had to tear himself up by the roots, a decision which was so definite that it often meant nothing less than beginning life all over again. He was not only a changed man, he was a different man. Paul teaches that those who have been baptized into Christ have been baptized into his death. Rom: 6:1-11
