“Baptism is just a symbol.” That’s what Grant Adams was taught as a Southern Baptist youth pastor — until he asked the question the Bible actually answers: what does baptism do? In this episode of Catholic Bible Highlights, Kenny Burchard and former Protestant minister Grant Adams walk through three Old Testament types that unlock baptism’s meaning. The Red Sea: Israel saved through water from Pharaoh’s tyranny. Noah’s ark: eight persons saved through water, and Peter says baptism corresponds to this and now saves you. Circumcision: Paul calls baptism the new circumcision made without hands — which is exactly why the early Church baptized babies. Three types, one conclusion: God saves through water.
