Baptism is generally seen then as a sign of one's own death and rising to new life, a sign of one's faith-commitment to God (though this isn't always the case). <BR/><BR/>I don't think it really shows up in Piper's poem, except for possibly the line about holding his daughter's hand, as her willing submission to baptism shows that she is of age to believe and confess Christ.<BR/><BR/>It's still a great poem.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03215174193221101678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13323795.post-90065211563297124182007-06-14T02:03:00.000-04:002007-06-14T02:03:00.000-04:00What does "marginally reflects Piper's credobaptis...What does "marginally reflects Piper's credobaptist theology, to which I do not subscribe" mean?
