In some Christian circles, the practice of water baptism is thought to be obsolete, replaced by a baptism in the holy spirit. Others consider it to be valid, but see it as an "optional extra." This study examines what the Bible says about baptism, and shows that there are three types mentioned: John's Baptism in Water, Baptism in Water in the name of Jesus Christ, and the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. It answers questions such as: Did spirit replace water? Did Jesus command water baptism? Did the first century church practice water baptism? Can one be saved without water baptism? What is the purpose of water baptism? Why should one be baptized in water?
