- 1BELIEVER'S BAPTISM1. Karl Barth endorsed believer's Baptism
2. Barth wrote that Baptism does not bring about human salvation, but bears testimony to salvation by its symbolic representation of renewal in Christ - 2SUMMARY OF BARTH'S ARGUMENT1. Baptism with water marks the first step of a life lived in Christ
2. It is a response to baptism in the Spirit - God's grace in converting individuals
3. It is not a sacrament, but rather a human action that acknowledges the one true sacrament - 'the sacrament of the history of Jesus Christ' - 3SUMMARY OF BARTH'S ARGUMENT4. It seals the reality of God's grace, but does not generate that reality
5. It is a free act - there can be no suggestion of coercion for coercion undermines obedience
6. Infant Baptism is misguided because it is coercive - it is deficient in the subjective sense that the individual baptised is not necessarily ready or willing to take the first step it marks - 4BARTH'S CRITICS1. Oscar Cullmann objected that baptism signifies both death to sin and resurrection to the life of the spirit - it is a passive reception of God's work and does not depend of the recipients faith
2. Peter Brunner insisted that in baptism Christ units people in his body, regardless of whether they are an infant or an adult - 5BART'S CRITICS1. Others have emphasised that in baptism we receive what Christ has already done for us, unconditioned by anything in us
