Family Bible Time: Baptism and Union with Christ

This week we are revisiting Command, Example, and Inference. Keep the discussion anchored in Acts 20:7; 1 Corinthians 16:1-2 and the big idea: Christians reason from explicit teaching, apostolic practice, and inference, but must not disguise interpretation as quotation.
