Baptism in water is something many of us in church have experienced. In a Baptist Church, this is through believers' baptism, while in other denominations, infant baptism is practised. But what about baptism in the Holy Spirit? What does that mean? What does it look like to be a person filled with the Spirit?
In this episode, we sit down with East London's own TeeZandos for a raw, unfiltered conversation about her life, music, and everything in between.From growing up in East London to dealing with bullying, the streets and real-life experiences that shaped her mindset, TeeZandos opens up like never before. She talks about early influences like Eazy-E, how her environment pushed her to become who she is today, and the moments that changed her path.We also dive into her music journey. Beyond music, TeeZandos speaks on being baptised in the sea, her relationship with God and renouncing the devil, and moments that reveal a deeper side to her story.With a mix of real talk and humour (including debates on EastEnders, Norbit vs Coming to America, and more), this episode gives you the full picture.THE DIRTY BONES BLACK CARD WE SPOKE ABOUT - https://dirty-bones.com/90s-baby-show

Why Be Baptised (Kirk Delaney) 22 Feb 2026 by Pine Rivers Vineyard
In which a Baptist pastor affirms infant baptism. Reflecting on Matthew 3:16-4:11 with Manningham Uniting Church on 22 February 2026 (Lent 1 Year A, reading extended backwards two verses).
On this weeks podcast we are joined by Bishop Brendan Leahy to reflect on the beginning of the Lenten Season. Bishop Brendan shares with us his reflection from his Lenten Pastoral Letter 2026 on how we could reframe our understanding of the ancient call to fast during the period of Lent including how to translate it into action for the modern world. Fasting is always put before us in the Christian life. and reminds that “Jesus' call to conversion and penance… does not aim first at outward works… but at the conversion of the heart, interior conversion”. Without interior conversion our external works such as fasting“ remain sterile and false.” In Lent, fasting is never meant as something we do on its own. It is not to be separated from prayer and almsgiving as forms of Christian love. Each of us must decide in our heart and perhaps in consultation with others, what specific form of fasting we want to take on for Lent. And then, we need to persevere in our undertaking. He also shares on a Lenten resource that is being made available as part of the preparations for the National Synodal Pathway. Baptised and Sent is the Preparatory Document for the Pre-Synodal Assembly of the Irish Synodal Pathway, which took place on 18 October 2025. A key moment in the Irish Synodal Pathway it was a shared journey of listening, prayer, and discernment as the People of God. The document was prepared to support reflection and dialogue across parishes, schools, faith communities, and dioceses.This Lent, parishes, schools and groups across Ireland are invited to journey together through a set of reflective resources inspired by Baptised and Sent. Grounded in the conviction that baptism is the foundation of our identity, dignity and mission, these resources help us return to the heart of Christian life, that through Baptism we are reborn in Christ and sent out by the Spirit in service of the Gospel. Through these Lenten reflections, each person – lay, religious and ordained – are encouraged to rediscover who we are as God's people, to listen to the Holy Spirit and to take concrete steps, individually and collectively towards living our baptismal calling more deeply.You can also register to participate online HERE.We have our regular run through the liturgical odds and ends in part one including the saints of the coming week.In part three we have our weekly reflection on the Sunday gospel and this Sunday's gospel is Matthew's account of the temptations (or testing) of Jesus in the desert which is something for us to reflect on as we enter into our Lenten journey and how would we deal with the temptation to power, pride and testing of God in our lives.

Join Fr Rob as he reflects on the Sunday Gospel readings and how we can apply these reflections to our lives today. The Baptism Of The LordGospel: Matthew 3:13-17
The Jews were baptised to enter the New Covenant when they accepted Him as the promised Messiah, and the Gentiles when they were called to come to God through faith in Him. Both Jews and Gentiles came with their children. But after churches were established, most of the baptisms were of the children born in those families. So it is today in churches that practice household baptism.
We are having baptisms this Sunday and several more in the coming weeks. This is wonderful news, and there will be much rejoicing in Heaven due to these acts of obedience. This Sunday, Graham Jones asks the question, “What Does It Take to Please God?” It's a question answered with three further questions we need to be regularly reminded of:1. Why do we get Baptised? 2. Why do we take Communion? 3. Why do we love God and others?

On this weeks podcast John and Shane catch up with Julieann Moran, the General Secretary of the Irish Synodal Pathway to get an update on where things are with the Irish Synodal Process especially after the Pre-Synodal Assembly held in Kilkenny on the 18th October.Julieann takes us (briefly) through the process to date outlining the interaction of the Irish Synodal Pathway with the global Synod of Bishops work on Synodality and how it has linked together before explaining what happened in Kilkenny and outlining what is the plan for the next 12 months ahead of a Synodal Assembly in 2026. The whole process has been very faith focused and led by prayer. The Synodal process is very focused on discernment and being open to the promptings of the Holy Spirit with particular focus on the process of Conversations in the Spirit to facilitate the dialogue needed. Julieann takes us through the day in Kilkenny highlighting the preparation before hand with the publication of the document Baptised & Sent and how after the Synodal process from 2021, the areas of focus have been distilled down to 7 priorities but with everything examined and assessed through the focal point of our baptism and what it means for us as a church of disciples of Jesus Christ. Ahead of the formal Synodal Assemblies next year we move into a phase of action where parishes and dioceses become "laboratories of synodality" looking to assess and act on the 7 priority areas supported by previous experience, solid theological and other inputs and learning from good practice around the country and from around the world.

Seventy adults were baptised in the Archdiocese of Dublin this April, up from just 39 in 2024. It's the highest number ever recorded by the diocese and the majority of converts were in their twenties and thirties. So, why is religion having a revival with some young people? Newstalk's Sarah Madden reports:
Just been baptised? Or perhaps you've been a believer for years and are asking, 'What's next?' Drawing from Jesus' own post-baptism journey into the wilderness, Alvin explores how the Holy Spirit often leads us into unexpected seasons of preparation and discovery, equipping us with spiritual sensitivity for every step of our faith.Mark 1:9-13

Is water baptism is just a symbolic ritual or something more essential? This thought-provoking episode tackles the controversial question: "Do we really need to get baptized twice?" – revealing powerful biblical truths that many contemporary churches have overlooked or diluted.Through a careful examination of Scripture, we uncover the inseparable relationship between water baptism and Spirit baptism. Beginning with the foundations of Paul's gospel message in 1 Corinthians 15 – that Christ died, was buried, and rose again – we trace how our response must mirror this three-part reality. Just as Jesus didn't merely die but was also buried and resurrected, our baptismal experience must encompass both water (taking part in His death and burial) and Spirit (living and walking by the indwelling Spirit).The evidence builds as we journey through Scripture: from Jesus' own baptism "to fulfill all righteousness," to Peter's Pentecost instructions to "repent, be baptized... and receive the Holy Ghost," to Paul rebaptizing disciples who had only experienced John's baptism. A consistent pattern emerges – the apostles never separated water baptism from Spirit baptism, and neither should we.This message directly challenges much of today's Christian teaching that treats baptism as optional or merely symbolic. The biblical pattern shows that authentic discipleship requires both baptisms. Whether you've been baptized before, are considering baptism, or simply want deeper biblical understanding, this episode will transform your perspective on what it truly means to fully obey the gospel of Jesus Christ.

In this episode, Pastor Dilip ministers on baptism. Part 15 of the sermon series titled 'Word Became Flesh', preached at Resurrection Sunday Service on 20 April 2025 at Revelation Church.
Today the last 2 chapters of Paul's letter to the Galatians illustrate the sharp contrast between those who put all the emphasis in their living – to observe the Law of Moses and practice circumcision – in contrast to belonging to Christ for “in Christ Jesus”, writes Paul, “neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith working through love.” [5 v.6]Most of us are not affected by those who advocate keeping the law and circumcision today. But there are there are those who believe it is vital as to which day you come together to worship. In writing to the Colossians Paul advised: “ …. Let no one pass judgement on you in questions of food or drink, or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath.” [2 v.16]Our salvation does not depend on us observing rules or days – other than the simplicity – and wonder – of remembering that Christ died for us.. Baptised believers are to meet in remembrance of his death in the way Jesus instituted just before his death. They prayerfully meet to partake of bread and wine (Luke 22 v.14-20) as “the new covenant in my blood” replacing the old covenant under the law of Moses.There is no command as to which day of the week this was to be observed. But initially, after the dramatic events on the day of Pentecost, with about 3,000 being baptised, they met “day by day … breaking bread in their homes” [Acts 2 v.41,46]. Acts 20 v.7 tells us that they met to break bread on “the first day of the week” – but there is no command about this.Paul told the Galatians, be “led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.” [5 v18]“The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.” [v.22-23]Now, to produce good fruit on a tree, much pruning, tending, watering, and protection from predators is needed, varying according to the environment. There is a parallel picture to this in the spiritual realm if we are to produce good spiritual fruit.The next and last verse in the chapter says, “And those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.” This does not happen automatically, we need to feed on God's word every day and to pray. Paul told the Colossians[Ch. 1 v.9,10]: “we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so as to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him, bearing fruit …”.
Story for the second week of Epiphany. Luke 3:15-17, 21-22 CEV https://bible.com/bible/392/luk.3.22.CEV
Today we started reading the book of Acts. So many things in it are relevant to our efforts to serve Christ today, but it is important that we read it carefully; regrettably some do not. It begins with a summary of the final days of Jesus before he ascended to heaven “after he had given commands through the Holy Spirit to the Apostles whom he had chosen” [2]; it was a period of 40 days. (v.3) We notice how “he ordered them not to depart from Jerusalem but to wait for the promise of the father … you will be baptised by the Holy Spirit not many days from now.” [v.5] To whom was he making this promise? These 12 Apostles were now only 11 because of the tragedy of Judas Iscariot, so Peter says (v.21-23) that they must find a replacement “to take the place of this ministry and apostleship” [v.26]. To do this they end up casting lots – and the last verse reads “and the lot fell to Matthias and he was numbered with the eleven Apostles.” It becomes evident that only the 12 received the promised Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost. When the day came it was just the 12 who were standing up before the people (2 v.14) which some sceptics were accusing of being drunk (v.15). We need to recall last week's reading in John's Gospel where Jesus was promising them the “spirit of truth”, a “helper” would be “sent to you from the father” [Ch.15 v26; 16 v.13]. This Spirit, says Jesus, “will guide you into all the Truth.” It “will declare to you things to come” and will “bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.” [14 v.26]. It is obvious that this Divine source of help is specially for the twelve, they are to be “baptised” into it by having the power come upon them. As we read on in Acts 2 we will learn that a “gift” was promised to the converts, but required the presence of one or more of the disciples for it to be given (Acts 8 v.14-17). In today's chapter we see that the disciples were hoping the kingdom would be established right then (v.6); but no, they were to be witnesses, beginning “in Jerusalem … to the end of the earth.” [v.8] This commission to the apostles concluded with the passing of the apostle John, but the Spirit through their written word continues to spread to all parts of the earth even now.
