| Summary: | This article analyses the emergence of new liturgical thinking in the Baptist movement, especially in the Slavic Baptist churches, in the context of the world-wide liturgical renewal. The author points to British Baptist sacramentalism, to 'A Manifesto for Baptist Communities' in North America, criticising these movements, and then to the comparable discussion in the Slavic churches after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Particular emphasis is put on water baptism, as a test case showing different theological approaches to understanding God's presence in the liturgy. The article considers the discussion on the understanding of baptism in the journal Theological Reflections and concludes that the question of what saves-faith, repentance or baptism - is incorrect because it does not take into account the integrity of the process of salvation shown in the Bible.
