• What is baptism?

• Where did it come from?

• Who has the authority to administer it?

• What is the proper mode for baptism?

• What does it accomplish?

• These and other questions will be addressed in this course.
  

• The Baptism course is worth 1 credit.
  

• TESTING:  Make sure you read the testing instructions if you have not already done so.  The Final Test is a closed book test, which means you can not use your textbook or any other material, nor can you have anyone help you in any way with the test.  It must be taken from memory alone.  The terms of a closed book test are explained on the Closed Book Test Contract Form which must be submitted prior to taking the Final Test.
    If you fail a test, you MAY NOT attempt that test again on the same day.  You must restudy the textbook/workbook and find all of the correct answers to the questions missed and then retake the test no sooner than the next day.
  - Name entry on tests:  Students are required to use proper letter-case when inputting their names on all submissions to the college.  Example: If your name is John Smith, then input John Smith, not john smith or JOHN SMITH.  If you do not use proper letter-case when you input your name on a test, then the test will be Disallowed and discarded.

  scripture referenced" requirement.  Scriptures must be
  looked up and read from the KJV Bible even if the
  scripture is wholly quoted in the textbook.
