On February 25th and 26th, 2005, Jarrod Jacobs (Owensboro, KY) met Roger Holland (Lafayette, TN) in a debate on the subject of baptism. The debate centered around whether or not one must be baptized in order to be saved from past sins.
This debate took place at the Millwood Community Center in Millwood, KY.

We had many questions asked during the two-night debate, but some did not make it due to time constraints. This page gives you a sampling of some of the questions (and my answers) that did NOT make it on to the CD set.
