Summary: "It is increasingly common that those who were baptized as infants later come to a real experience of faith and (often influenced by practice in other denominations) seek a 'second baptism.' Is it possible to retain a proper understanding of baptism as a once-for-all admission to the community of faith - and offer a pastoral rite that meets this felt need? This study argues it is - and shows how it might be done"--Page 4 of cover.
Why be baptized at all? -- So what is a baptism? -- Renewal of baptismal vows in the affirmation of baptismal faith -- What of those who have already had a 'second baptism'?
