Baptism, I learned a lot from this page
"I believe the infant baptism argument is very strong and convincing when based upon Covenant Theology, and the church’s identity with the Abrahamic covenant. However, in this paper, I take the more “baptistic” approach of looking up the word “baptism” in multiple portions of Scripture, just to demonstrate that every method of approach, properly done, still leads to the same truth.

According to the Bible: Jesus is God, "I AM"
"You are not yet fifty years old," the Jews said to him, "and you have seen Abraham!" "I tell you the truth," Jesus answered, "before Abraham was born, I AM (Yahweh)!" (John 8:57-58)
Moses said to God, "Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, 'The God of your fathers has sent me to you,' and they ask me, 'What is his name?' Then what shall I tell them?"
God said to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM . This is what you are to say to the Israelites: 'Yahweh (I AM) has sent me to you.' " God also said to Moses, "Say to the Israelites, Yahweh (I AM), the God of your fathers - the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob - has sent me to you.' This is my name forever, the name by which I am to be remembered from generation to generation.
