Show Notes

Moving on through our discussion of the "first principles and ordinances" of the Mormon faith brings us to the ordinance of baptism. Where did this practice come from, and what does the church teach about it? Is the Mormon church's version of baptism similar to other churches, or are there significant differences? Do you think Dave and Mike can find ways to make fun of the church's teachings around it (i.e. is water a combination of hydrogen and oxygen)?
