IRBS on the Road: A Deep Dive into Baptism explores the Scriptural teaching on baptism in three conference sessions with Dr. James Renihan.
Session 1. Baptism in the Old Testament
Session 2. Baptism in the New Testament
Session 3. Why do we only baptize professing believers?
Dr. Renihan seeks to demonstrate that the Bible presents a consistent and compelling case for the believers' baptism.
The cost of the conference is being paid for by Sellwood Church and is free to attendees.

Commendations from attendees of past seminars:
"I appreciated the amount of time that went into positively presenting the Scripture’s teaching on baptism’s basis in the Old Testament and its essential relationship to confessing faith in our Lord. All too often, intra-Reformed discussions on baptism go straight to critiques of others’ positions and practices. I’m grateful that this material instead focused on providing a robust background for making a positive case for credobaptism before engaging in those important discussions and disagreements."
"I would recommend this series to anyone even remotely interested in baptism because it was very informative and enlightening. To see all these connections throughout scripture and even at the end going through the common proof texts for infant baptism was a blessing."
