About this listen

In this episode, we delve into the significant and sometimes controversial topic of baptism within the Christian faith. Prompted by the Holy Spirit, this discussion addresses key questions: Is baptism optional? Should it be immediate or after a class? The different methods like sprinkling versus full immersion. We explore scriptural references from Psalms, the Gospels, and epistles, and analyze Jesus' baptism, the teachings of John the Baptizer, and the significance of being born of water and the Spirit as detailed in John 3:5. With insights from respected Bible scholar Derek Prince, we emphasize the importance of baptism as an essential step in the Christian journey, likening it to a wedding garment and a sign of true discipleship. We also discuss topics such as re-baptism and infant baptism, encouraging believers to seek understanding through the Scriptures and the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
