  I am a huge fan of both these men. As a patron of both their channels, I have been able to watch this twice already. It was a thrill to see them together having a respectful, intelligent, and friendly discussion, which is sadly so rare these days. It is encouraging to see baptism taken with the seriousness it deserves. In my experience, many people are baptized only when required to for church membership. Austin did a great job leading the discussion. I look forward to Part 2.

  For me, this is the gift of protestantism. We can have gracious debates over something as fundamental as baptism without anathametizing the other side.

  As a Presbyterian, I’ve never been more conflicted watching a video in my life

  I find this style of “debate” far more interesting than the hyper passive aggressive style that people like James White prefer to do. It feels less like I’m being forced to take a side and more sitting around a coffee table enjoying theology as a heir to Hus & Luther.

  This may be the best moderation I've ever seen in any debate/discussion.

  Having had a front row seat to this, I think everyone is really going to enjoy it and be filled with anticipation for part 2 on baptismal regeneration! Grateful to get to be a part of these

  Dr. Ortlund brining in a Baptist beard.  Never give up.

  I was a huge fan of the fact that Jordan B.Cooper had brought up that baptism is the new circumcision and that circumcision is cutting off the flesh and baptism is cutting off the sin from our lives.  And how circumcision attempts to do what baptism does. Which is what Christ talks about in regards to the Mosaic law saying that he did not come to abolish the Law but to fulfill it.  I love that!  You guys are awesome!

  Two of my favorite 21st Century theologians. Both are so articulate is their points. Love the way they can both use Scripture and the Church Fathers to express their views on different topics
