The Hinge in Romans 1 - 8: A critique of N.T.Wright's view of Baptism and Conversion
Synopsis "The Hinge in Romans 1 - 8: A critique of N.T.Wright's view of Baptism and Conversion"
Romans 6 is a key chapter in the pinnacle of all the books of the Bible - the letter in which the Spirit of God, through Paul, has given us the clearest, the fullest, the most exalted of all statements of the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. Consequently, if we want to fully appreciate the gospel, we must have a good grasp of Paul's teaching in Romans. That, in turn, means that we must have a good grasp of Romans 6. Sadly, many believers do not have this. In particular, there is a great deal of misunderstanding over the apostle's use of 'baptise' and 'baptism' in Romans 6:3-4. The consequence can be serious beyond words: it can lead to a wrong view of a key aspect of the gospel; namely, conversion. N.T.Wright is one who gets Romans 6 wrong. And since he is very vocal about his view, thousands, listening to him, are in danger of making a vital mistake over conversion. David Gay has already engaged with Wright over the question of conversion with regard to justification by faith - see his 'Conversion Ruined: The New Perspective and the Conversion of Sinners'. He now does the same over Wright's misunderstanding of baptism, and the catastrophic effect this has on conversion. This booklet is not an academic study. Gay has not written to score points in some kind of theological chess game. The Bible is clear: unless a man is converted, he will perish. In this work, therefore, Gay is wrestling for the souls of men, for their everlasting happiness. Nothing could be more crucial.
