Podcasts about Baptism

Scholar M. David Litwa joins the podcast to explore the intersections of Gnosticism, Hermeticism, and ancient astrology. David is a historian of early Christianity and Greco-Roman religions who recently published a new translation of the Corpus Hermeticum. Together, we trace how these esoteric traditions developed and interacted in the ancient world, particularly in the cultural melting pot of Alexandria. We discuss the emergence of Hermeticism as a synthesis of Egyptian religion and Greek philosophy, and how early Christian Gnosticism subsequently adapted many of these cosmological frameworks. A major focal point is how ancient astrology, including the ascent and descent of the soul through the planetary spheres, was integrated into these religious movements. We contrast the Gnostic view of the planets as restrictive archons keeping the soul imprisoned with the more sympathetic Hermetic view of the visible cosmos as a second God and part of divine providence. We also take a close look at the Peratics, a unique Gnostic group that integrated technical Hellenistic astrology directly into their religion in order to map the soul's escape from the material realm. Finally, we unpack the historical tensions between fate, providence, and free will, examining how early Christians navigated astrological determinism before figures like Augustine firmly pushed back against the practice. This conversation highlights the profound impact that Hellenistic astrology had on the broader philosophical and religious landscape of the ancient world.

Baptism Of The Holy Spirit

Patrick opens with a chaotic scene: parents outside a California school bus, one shattering a window in desperation after the children wait inside for an hour, the driver following strict protocol while emotions ignite on both sides. He moves between parent outrage, drivers’ candid explanations, and stories from listeners, drawing out the tension of trust, safety, and responsibility in everyday life. Voices clash and intertwine as Patrick explores the blurred boundary where authority, fear, and instinct collide. Mother smashed the window of a school bus and crawled through the window after the driver wouldn't let the kids out in California. - https://x.com/ExxAlerts/status/2092656313641955786 (01:01) Samuel - I am a school bus driver in California. When we first pick up kids at the school the bus driver is absolutely responsible for the kid. When kid jumped out the window, we have to notify dispatch. (11:39) Martin – I’m a school bus driver. School bus is treated the same as the school as far as property. No one is going to break a window of a school. (21:14) Patrick shares some of the many emails that have come in with comments about the bus driver and the mom who broke the window to get into the bus Matt - I have a friend who is waiting on two annulments. The Church is withholding Baptism until the annulments are approved. (39:07) Richard (email) – Does the New Testament forbid the eating blood food products? (41:50) Rebecca - If there is any historical evidence from when Pope Peter's authority went to the second pope? (45:51)

In this episode Pastor Kaleb talks through Baptism. What it is, how it's done, and what it means from the Bible. Whether you're considering baptism yourself or just simply want to understand it better, we hope this helps.

“Can God save those who reject Him?” This question opens a discussion on faith and salvation, touching on topics such as the significance of praying with the rosary, the practice of baptizing babies, and the struggles of those considering returning to the Church after feeling unworthy. The conversation also addresses the challenges faced by individuals who feel drawn to Catholicism despite doubts about belief in God.

Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 01:08 – I'm not Catholic because I don't believe in God. 15:28 – Why do you pray with the rosary? Why do you baptize babies? 29:07 – I'm interested in becoming Catholic because I see all the benefits but I don’t believe in God. I was thinking maybe I can just fake believing to just attend. 35:38 – When people who are radically saved from rock bottom they tend to go protestant. How can God save them without bringing them to the fulness of the truth? 46:33 – I'm not Catholic anymore because I don't think they will accept me back because I've done some horrible things in the past.

In this engaging temple Q&A session, host Rick Bennett fields questions from a Community of Christ group following a presentation on restoration temples inside and outside the LDS Church. The discussion spans a wide range of captivating topics in Mormon history, theology, and architecture: https://youtu.be/vn7odpxo7Kc Don't miss our other conversations on temples: https://gospeltangents.com/mormon_history/lds-temples/ Copyright © 2026 Gospel Tangents All Rights Reserved What you will discover in this presentation: Temple Q&A: Mormon Pentecostalism & Speaking in Tongues The group discusses how early Latter-day Saints in Kirtland rolled on the ground like “holy rollers” and how Mormon Pentecostalism actually predates modern Pentecostalism by about 70 years. They examine how the Book of Mormon’s unique doctrinal connection between the baptism of fire and “speaking in the tongues of angels” laid this early groundwork. LDS Fundamentalism & Temple Practices: The discussion explores why fundamentalist Mormon offshoots (like the Remnant Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints or the Neielson Naylor group) are often seen as having preserved original Nauvoo temple components more closely than the mainstream LDS Church has. Stonehenge as a Jaredite Temple?: In a fascinating segment on international restoration branches, Bennett shares the beliefs of Philip Gill’s group in England, which claims Stonehenge was actually built by Jaredites who traveled through Russia. The group also discusses temple traditions in Mexican and Brazilian restoration offshoots. Nemenha Records & Heavenly Mother: The Q&A highlights a highly obscure set of records from Manti, Utah, known as the “Mantino archives” or “Nemenha record” translated by Philip Landis. The records contain an entire temple endowment ceremony that is almost identical to the LDS ceremony, with one major twist: it refers to a Heavenly Mother. Where Does God Dwell?: Members debate whether physical structures or individual human bodies are the true temples. Drawing from the Book of Mormon’s teaching that the Lord “dwelleth not in unholy temples” but in the hearts of the righteous, they discuss the personal spiritual temple versus the physical buildings that eventually “get torn down”. Future of Kirtland & Salt Lake Temples: Bennett answers questions regarding the LDS Church’s purchase of the Kirtland Temple and the 15-year agreement to keep it as-is. He also expresses deep heartbreak over the seismic upgrades of the Salt Lake Temple, where historic pioneer murals were gutted so the structure could be placed on ball bearings and reinforced with steel rods.

Today we will be continuing our discussion on baptism! What is the different between the Baptist and the Presbyterian view on baptism?

The experts voice is rarely God's voice. In John 10, Jesus tells us about the stranger's voice and God's voice. The strangers voice can sound very reasonable and logical, even "smarter" than what God is speaking. But remember God uses the foolish things to confound the wise. Many times there can be a level of foolish to what God is asking you to do but when you obey the results are better than that of the experts. Reasoning and fear demand to be heard but God's voice is waiting for us to listen. 

Acts 19 gives us a picture of the normal Christian life: trusting fully in Jesus, publicly identifying with him through baptism, and living in the power of the Holy Spirit. As Paul encountered a group of men with an incomplete understanding of Jesus, we are invited to examine our own faith and abandon a version of Christianity shaped more by culture or comfort than Scripture. Jesus saves us into new life, and his Spirit is at work making us more like him.

Jesus saves us into new life, and his Spirit is at work making us more like him.

Baptism is a picture of death and resurrection. Just as Jesus was buried and raised to new life, we symbolically leave our old life behind and are raised to a new, fuller, better, and eternal life in him. Today, we celebrate that new life and the One who makes it possible.

I got a tour inside the San Diego Latter-day Saint temple and now I'm following up with an interview with Neal Walton who is a stake president in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in San Diego. Apparently, I was the first Christian apologist who'd ever shown up with a film crew and asked for an interview. We worked through the differences plainly. The Trinity. Whether God the Father has a physical body. Baptism for the dead. Faith and works. Exaltation versus salvation. Whether Jesus is the uncreated, eternal God. Neither of us pretended those are small, and neither of us tried to win.

In this episode of Outlaw God, Caleb Keith and Dr. Steven Paulson continue exploring Luther's "new Kabbalah" and his rejection of mystical approaches to God, Scripture, and the law. They explain how Luther moved away from Plato and Aristotle and came to see God's Word, preaching, Baptism, the Lord's Supper, and absolution as the true means through which God gives Christ and salvation. The conversation shows why Luther believed the Gospel must be separated from mystical ideas of ascending to God through suffering, rituals, dreams, or human effort.

Servant of God Nicholas Black Elk went from Lakota warrior to Catholic catechist who brought over 400 people to baptism. Nicholas Black Elk lived through the Battle of Little Bighorn and the tragedy of Wounded Knee before being baptized Catholic in 1904. From then on, he rode across the Lakota lands of South Dakota as a catechist, teaching his own people about Baptism, the Eucharist, and Our Lady in words only he could speak. His cause for sainthood is now open with the Catholic Church. "He spent the first half of his life searching for truth. He spent the second half giving it away." ⭐Want to keep living Nicholas Black Elk's story after the episode ends?  Grab our free Every Day's a Feast Day calendar and get every saint and every challenge delivered, so your family can follow along together: https://shop.catholicsprouts.com/pages/every-days-a-feast-day-follow-along

In this final episode of Pillar 2, we learn about the Christian funeral rite. Fr. Mike explains how the new life begun in Baptism comes to greater fulfillment as the Christian passes over from this earthly life into the fullness of the Kingdom. The Church, who has sacramentally nourished her children throughout their earthly pilgrimage, upon their death commends them to the Father and places their bodies in the earth to await the resurrection in hope. Each funeral is to end with a farewell to the beloved dead, knowing that we still share communion in Christ and will reunite in our heavenly home. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 1680-1690. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

Following Jesus was never meant to be something we simply watch from a distance. Baptism is a public declaration that says, “I've decided to follow Jesus, and I'm all in.” But beneath the water is a much deeper story about surrender, identity, new life, and the God who has already gone all in for us. What would it look like for you to stop holding back?

We’re taking a deep dive into Virtual, Vodou, and Fundy Temples. It’s a fascinating look at secret and highly controversial world of divergent temples and modern groups of the Restoration. Following the assassination of Joseph Smith, the temple liturgy fractured like a prism, scattering the sacred rites of the Restoration in vastly different directions. https://youtu.be/L6vQWsbxxaE Don't miss our other conversations on temples: https://gospeltangents.com/mormon_history/lds-temples/ Copyright © 2026 Gospel Tangents All Rights Reserved What you will discover in this presentation: Lost Rites of Mormonism: Discover early temple ordinances that the mainstream LDS Church left behind, including the Law of Adoption (sealing members to prominent church leaders rather than biological parents), baptisms for health (ritual immersion for physical healing), and the controversial Oath of Vengeance. The 1978 Breaking Point: Understand how early 20th-century alterations to the endowment and the 1978 revelation lifting the racial ban on Black members became the “last straw” for fundamentalists, who believed mainstream temples were defiled and set out to build their own sacred spaces. Inside Secret Sanctuaries of Fundy Temples: Go behind the scenes of Warren Jeffs' isolated YFZ Ranch in Eldorado, Texas, and the dramatic 2008 paramilitary raid sparked by a hoax call. Plus, hear about an exclusive interview conducted inside the temple of Christ’s Church (the Righteous Branch) in Nevada, where they still practice the multi-hour 1877 St. George endowment and perform second anointings. Decentralized and Progressive Temples: Explore Missouri Independents who reject the traditional fundamentalist racial ban to allow Black members to receive full temple ordinances, and the progressive Church of Jesus Christ in Christian Fellowship (CJCCF) & Reform Mormons. Both churches conduct virtual temple worship over Zoom using “home temples” and ordain women to the priesthood. Mormonism Meets Haitian Vodou: Learn how Haitian Latter-day Saints engage in “bricolage,” beautifully blending Mormon temple theology about the thin veil between the living and the dead with indigenous Vodou ancestral veneration.

Today we will be continuing our discussion on baptism! What is the different between the Baptist and the Presbyterian view on baptism?

God is speaking to you for a reason. We can doubt or reason away God's voice. Some Christians believe God no longer speaks, but John 10 says, "My sheep hear my voice." So as a believer, it is not a matter of if God is speaking but a question of whether or not you are listening. A question of whether or not you are discerning God's voice. Can you tell the difference between God's voice and the enemy's voice? Between God's voice and your own voice? God's voice is a gift. Are you seeking, listening, training yourself to hear His voice?

“Believers have died with Christ and therefore are dead to sin.” —Rodney C. Brown Jr. On Easter Sunday the question is pressed: What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin so that grace may increase? Paul's answer is emphatic—May it never be! Because believers have been united with Christ in His death and resurrection, the old self has been crucified. We have died to sin and are no longer its slaves. Baptism pictures this reality: buried with Him into death so that, just as Christ was raised, we too might walk in newness of life. The resurrection is not merely the empty tomb. It is the power that breaks sin's dominion and produces genuine transformation. Grace is not a license; it is the life-changing power of God that makes us new.

Hello Venture! Here's a recap of Baptism at the Beach, seeing how Jesus moved in this beautiful day.Blessings.

It was Benjamin Franklin who said, “In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.” But what happens when death dies? Paul reminds us that we can be certain of more than death, because the resurrection of Jesus changes everything.

Christian voyager Jacques Cartier (1491-1557) led his third and last expedition to the St.-Lawrence river valley in 1541. A new headquarters was established a few miles upstream from the Amerindian village of Stadacona, near the present site of Quebec City. This time Cartier was to be followed by Jean Francois de la Rocque, sieur de Roberval, with a party of colonists. After a wait which lasted through the following winter and the Baptism of Chief Donnacona, Cartier set sail for home, only to meet Roberval’s party in three tall ships in the harbor of what is now St. John’s, Newfoundland. Diamonds of Canada, mined by Jacques Cartier's men at the mouth of Rivière du Cap-Rouge proved to be worthless quartz. Cartier’s "treasure" is remembered in the name of Québec’s Cape Diamond or Cap aux Diamants and also in the French proverb "Faux comme un diamant du Canada", "As false as Canadian diamonds."

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260813dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. Romans 8:31-33 Without a Doubt! There are very few things you can say without a doubt. When making plans, you can’t say they will happen without a doubt. When someone asks you a difficult question, can you always answer confidently, without a doubt? Thankfully, we can answer life’s most crucial question without a doubt, and not because we’re so smart, but because God is so great! Life’s most crucial question is, “Am I right with God?” or “Will God let me into heaven?” Some people struggle to answer those questions without a doubt. Those doubts come from the reality of sin. God is holy and perfect; we are not. Just one sin is enough to bar us from heaven, and we've committed more than one. More than we can count. It would be presumptuous to believe we can simply walk through heaven’s gates, except that God assures us of this without doubt or hesitation. God is for us! He’s on our side. He says that our sins are forgiven. This removes any and every shred of doubt. Who can bring any charges against us that will stick? Our own doubts and guilty conscience might try to tell us we aren’t forgiven or worthy, but they don’t call the shots! God does. He has justified us. That means he declares, with absolute authority, that we are not guilty because he’s forgiven all our sins. And if any doubt should remain, here’s proof: God did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all. This is how the guilty are declared innocent and the accused become acquitted, without a doubt. God spared no expense to make things right between you and him. God left heaven and carried a cross to make heaven your home. It’s yours through Christ, without a doubt. Prayer: Lord, spare me from doubt and temptations to justify myself and let my confidence rest on Christ alone who has already justified me. Amen. Daily Devotions is brought to you by WELS.

This message explores the biblical theme of water as God's repeated pattern of bringing order out of chaos and offering new life. From the Spirit hovering over the waters in Genesis 1, through the flood with Noah, the Red Sea with Moses, and into the baptism proclaimed by John, Scripture shows God making a way through the waters for those who trust Him. Baptism is not a routine or mere tradition; it is participation in this ancient story of leaving the old life behind and rising into the life God provides. The call is to recover awe for what God does when someone enters those waters and to remain rooted in Scripture so we understand why it matters.

What is a covenant, and why does it matter? In this episode, we explore the biblical idea of covenant and consider how theologians have defined this concept. We'll see how covenant shapes our understanding of God's relationship with His people, and how we can be eternally secure in Christ because of these covenants.Connect With Usprovidenceomaha.org | Instagram | FacebookEmail Usformation@providenceomaha.org

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260812dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion We know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28 It’s All Good! “It’s all good!” someone might say. We might tell ourselves, “It’s all good,” even when it’s not. Even when it doesn’t seem good, we try to remain optimistic, look at the brighter side, and have faith that it will all work out. The Christian faith is not merely faith that all things will work out. It’s faith in the God and Savior who works out all things for eternal good. This Bible verse is not a promise that only good and pleasant things will happen to you if you just love God enough. It’s a reminder that those who love God and are loved by God will experience all sorts of things that don’t seem good and pleasant. When something challenging or tragic comes into your life, you might be tempted to wonder, “Does God have something against me? Is that why bad things are happening?” You may doubt that God is really on your side. But here is his assurance: He's not working against you; he’s working for you and for your good! Jesus shows us how true this promise is. No one in the world would naturally see someone nailed to a cross and think, “That’s good.” Yet, in that way, God was at work to accomplish the greatest good—the forgiveness of our sins and eternal life with him. That’s good! When things happen in life that the world does not see as good, we have God’s promise that even this he will work out for good. It could be good personally for you because the thing that initially causes pain or sorrow could be God’s way of shaping you, strengthening you, or sparing you from greater physical or spiritual danger. It could bring good into the lives of others around you. If you’ve been through something, you are better equipped to encourage someone else who’s going through it too. It really is all good when we find ourselves in the loving arms of the God who works in all things for our eternal good! Prayer: Lord Jesus, give me faith that knows that in all things you are at work for your good and eternal purposes. Amen. Daily Devotions is brought to you by WELS.

What does it mean to be empowered by the Holy Spirit? In a world that often feels heavy, confusing, and spiritually dry, Jaclyn Soza reminds us that God never intended His people to live without power. The Baptism of the Holy Spirit isn't an upgrade for the “super spiritual”—it's the promise of Jesus for every believer. As Jaclyn said, “Everybody gets to participate in what God is pouring out.”In this message from our This We Believe series, Jaclyn explores the biblical foundation of Spirit baptism through Acts 1, Acts 2, and Matthew 3. The Holy Spirit doesn't just dwell in us for salvation—He comes upon us for mission, boldness, freedom, and kingdom impact. “You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you,” Jesus said, and Jaclyn shows how that same power is available to us today. From Elijah's mantle to Pentecost, Scripture paints a clear picture: God empowers ordinary people to do extraordinary things.She also speaks pastorally to every season of life—whether you're hungry for more of God, wrestling with disappointment, or stepping into new faith—reminding us that hunger and surrender position us to receive everything God desires to pour out. The baptism of the Holy Spirit isn't optional; it's essential for living fully alive in the kingdom.This message is part of This We Believe: Exploring the Essential Truths That Shape Our Faith and Who We Are, a series on the authority of Scripture, who God is, the person and work of Jesus, the power of the Holy Spirit, the purpose of the Church, and our mission in the world.NEXT STEPS:Whether you're exploring faith, growing in your relationship with Jesus, or looking for a church community, we'd love to help you take your next step.

Uncle Si lets slip the very Si-like thing he says whenever he catches his reflection in the mirror. Jase, Al, and Gordon happily promote Si to elder statesman of the Robertson clan while they trace James' warning about gossip, slander, bitterness, and the unruly tongue. Gordon recalls the church hurt that consumed him until the Lord's Prayer forced him to reconsider forgiveness and the way he viewed the man who wounded him. The guys discover how remembering that every person bears God's image can transform relationships, unite unlikely people in Jesus, and replace the fear of death with real freedom.
