Waters of Death & Feasting with Jesus (Baptism and the Lord's Supper)


Listen Later

Jen Wilkin, JT English, and Kyle Worley have a conversation about the meaning, significance, and different views of Baptism and the Lord’s Supper.

Questions Covered in This Episode:

  • Why have baptism and the Lord’s Supper been so contentious historically?
  • What is the best argument for believers' baptism?
  • What is the best argument for infant baptism?
  • What are the dangers of not fully understanding each of these positions?
  • What about churches that acknowledge both positions of baptism?
  • What is baptism?
  • How does the Lord’s Supper connect to baptism in a way that is complimentary but distinct?
  • What formative value does the Lord’s Supper have in the weekly gathering?
  • What is happening at the Lord’s supper? What are the different views?

Helpful Definitions: 

  • Baptism: "baptizo" (βαπτίζω): to immerse, submerge, or plunge
  • Transubstantiation (Catholicism): The elements convert into the physical body and blood of Christ.
  • Consubstantiation (Lutheranism): The substances both of the body and blood of Christ and of the bread and the wine coexist in union with each other.
  • Spiritual Presence (Reformed): Christ is spiritually present in the elements.
  • Memorial (Anabaptist): The elements are purely symbolic.
