Podcast Episode 8: Understanding Baptism (Part 1)

In this episode, we dive into the topic of baptism, addressing key questions from our listeners. Before answering whether our church performs baptisms, we first explore what Scripture says about baptism and its significance in the life of a believer.

We discuss:

• The historical and biblical context of baptism, including Old Testament ceremonial cleansings and John the Baptist’s ministry.
• Jesus’ baptism and its pivotal role in the Gospel narrative.
• The early church’s practice of baptism, as seen in Acts and the New Testament.
• The meaning of baptism as a public declaration of faith, repentance, and new life in Christ.
• How our church practices full-immersion baptism, aligning with biblical teachings.
• Various baptism settings, from rivers to bathtubs, and why the act of surrender matters more than the location.

We conclude by inviting listeners to reflect on their own faith journey and take the next step in following Jesus. If you have more questions about baptism, stay tuned for Part 2 next week, where we’ll address additional listener questions!
