| Summary | "Water Baptism" by James H. Moon is a theological text written in the early 20th century. The work explores the concept of baptism, specifically focusing on the idea that water baptism is a pagan and Jewish rite rather than a command of Jesus Christ. Moon presents arguments based on scripture and historical context, challenging the traditional understanding of water baptism as a necessary Christian sacrament. In "Water Baptism," Moon systematically examines various biblical accounts of baptism, particularly those of John the Baptist and Jesus, to assert that the only true baptism is that of the Holy Spirit. He argues that Christ did not institute water baptism and cites evidence from scripture to support his claims, suggesting that the early Christians may have continued the practice of water baptism due to their Jewish heritage rather than divine instruction. Throughout the text, Moon encourages readers to reject the ritualistic nature of water baptism and instead embrace the spiritual baptism emphasized in the New Testament, which he believes is more aligned with the teachings of Christ and the true essence of Christianity.
