Dr. Ortlund does not believe that the Bible describes a 6-day creation. I would like to know what text leads to his conclusion instead.

In this response video I hope to explain why the objections aren't enough to conclude with an alternate reading of the text. I don't believe it is enough merely to say that vagueness in the text allows for alternate readings, but would like to know how someone reading the Bible should be expected to come to those conclusions, and why.

This is the video I am responding to:

Does Baptism save? Let's go through what else the Bible says about baptism, what it is, who it is for, and what it does.
