Dan Jarms and Joe Swanson discuss the process of discipling people toward baptism, emphasizing the role of disciple makers in guiding new believers. They highlight the importance of understanding the gospel, genuine repentance, and the willingness to count the cost of following Christ. Joe suggests that children should understand the gospel and demonstrate repentance before being baptized, typically around ages 12-18, though Faith has no hard age limits for baptism. They stress that baptism is a public declaration of faith and should not be seen as a hoop to jump through. Parents are encouraged to have open, honest conversations with their children about their faith journey.
