What if one of the most common questions about Christianity is also one of the most misunderstood? In Mark 14:12–25, we step into one of the most significant nights in history; a private dinner that changed everything. What Jesus said and did in that room still shapes millions of lives today. In this message we will discover that Baptism is not about earning salvation. It's about obedience. We will be encouraged to build our faith on surrender, rather than technicalities and we will learn that Jesus doesn't just forgive our sin, He gives us a brand new identity. This message tackles the tension many of us quietly wrestle with; that gap between belief and obedience. Between cultural Christianity and real surrender. Between technicalities… and transformation. Pastor Kevin Queen helps us see that this isn’t about two ancient rituals, it’s a question of whether we are building our faith on loopholes, or trust. – – – – – – To learn more about baptism or take your next step: crosspoint.tv/baptism.

Baptism is considered THE entrance to Christian faith -- but Christians vary widely in practice and belief on what baptism does, who it is for, and why we do it. So for part 10 of 12 on “What is the Nicene Creed?” we unpack this lines:"We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins."So we wade into the muddy waters of the River Jordan to ask: what is sin, what does it mean to be forgiven, and how does this apply when some people are literally infants when they are baptized? What does God do when we are baptized? And why is this significant that it only happens once? +++Like what you hear? We are an entirely crowd-sourced, you-funded project.

The moment that Jesus Christ came into us we trusted him as lord and savior. We were spiritually dead, but it symbolizes we become alive again. Remember when Adam and Eve died in the garden? When they ate the fruit, what happened? They died spiritually, right? They didn't die physically. Later on, they died spiritually. Because all of a sudden, what happened? They were scared. They hid from God. And at that moment, God kicked them out of the garden because he didn't want them to live in sin forever. Mark 8:36 "For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. Have you trusted Him as your Savior? He can Save you if You ask Him based on His death, burial, and resurrection for your sins. Believe in Him for forgiveness of your sins today. “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” -John 8:32 Our mission is to spread the gospel and to go to the least of these with the life-changing message of Jesus Christ; We reach out to those the World has forgotten. hisloveministries.podbean.com #HLMSocial hisloveministries.nethttps://www.instagram.com/hisloveministries1/?hl=en His Love Ministries on Itunes Don't go for all the gusto you can get, go for all the God (Jesus Christ) you can get.

Send a textIn the last episode, we talked about when the apostles were baptized in the Holy Spirit on Pentecost in Acts chapter 2. We then began discussing when Cornelius and his family and friends were baptized in the Holy Spirit as recorded in Acts chapter 10. We read the entire chapter, 48 verses, in sections with short comments regarding what was recorded. We noticed that in verses 1 through 8 Cornelius is described as an Italian military man and consequently a Gentile and a devout man. These verses describe how Cornelius was addressed by an angel and told to go to Joppa and seek Peter the apostle. In the next section, verses 9-16, Peter has a vision to teach him that Gentiles are acceptable to God under the New Testament just as Jews are. In verses 17-33 we note that those Cornelius sent to seek Peter arrived to tell Peter to come to his house. At his house, Peter and Cornelius described what they were told. The record of Peter's sermon is contained in verses 34-43. In verses 44-48 we find that the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who heard the word. We discuss what Peter said. In particular the fact that God shows no partiality and accepts any who will obey Him. We discuss what Peter said in Acts 2:38 and note that even though the Holy Spirit fell on those in Cornelius' house, they were still commanded to be baptized in water, the name of the Lord. We have seen two examples of the baptism of the Holy Spirit and we believe these are the only ones in the New Testament except the special occasion when the Holy Spirit descended upon Jesus in Marl 1:10. In the next episode, we will begin looking at the gifts of the Holy Spirit and the miracles related to that. Take about 30-minutes to listen in on our discussion. Have your Bible handy so you can verify what we are saying. There is a transcript of this Buzzsprout episode provided for your convenience.
Colossians 2: 11-15. Being Baptized into Christ by MVBC
Color: White Old Testament: Exodus 40:17–21, 34–38 Psalm: Psalm 2; antiphon: v. 7 Epistle: Titus 3:4–7 Gospel: John 1:1–18 Gospel: John 1:1–14 Introit: Psalm 98:1–4; antiphon: Isaiah 9:6 Gradual: Psalm 118:26a, 27a, 23 Verse: Liturgical Text The Living and Life-Giving Word of God Dwells among Us in the Flesh In the beginning God created all things through His Word, His Son. But man fell into sin, and with man all creation was cursed. Therefore, God spoke His Word again, this time into the womb of the blessed Virgin Mary. The glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle of our human nature (Ex. 40:17–21, 34–38). “The Word became flesh and dwelt among us” (John 1:1–14). The Son of God took on our flesh and blood and died on the cross in order that we might receive the right to become the children of God through faith. Baptized into Christ's body, we are made partakers of a new Genesis, “the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit” (Titus 3:4–7). In Christ, the kindness and love of God our Savior toward man has truly appeared. Lectionary summary © 2021 The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod. Used by permission. http://lcms.org/worship
There's only one example of people being "re-baptized" explicitly recorded in scripture. What were the circumstances, and could they apply to someone now?

When should a believer be baptized? Is it okay to wait, or does Scripture call for something more immediate? In this episode of Ask FGBC, Pastor Jim Butler and Pastor Cam Porter walk through the book of Acts to show how the early church responded to the gospel with swift obedience in baptism. They discuss why believers sometimes delay, what the Bible actually requires, and why putting off baptism means putting off a blessed command of Christ.

It comes from the Greek word baptizo, to be baptized, which means to immerse, submerge, or dip. If you've put your faith in Jesus today, last month, or years ago, our job as followers of him is to take that step—to be baptized and live out your faith in him.

“Why do Catholics make religion so complicated?” This question opens a discussion on the intricacies of Catholic beliefs and practices.

Join the Catholic Answers Live Club Newsletter Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 02:05 – Why do Catholics Make Religion so Complicated? 09:58 – The number 37 seems to show up a number of times in scripture is there some significance to this? 13:35 – If Mark was written before John, why doesn't Mark's Gospel include the “I AM” statements? 22:31 – Can I wear a Scapular if I am not Baptized? 23:16 – If I attended Sunday evening Mass but they did different readings than the Sunday morning Mass, does it still fulfill the Sunday obligation? 29:30 – What is the SSPX and sedevacantist relationship to the Church? 40:12 – How can I defend the Faith when I am not sophisticated in my arguments at the moment? 50:15 – If the Kingdom of David ended when God said it wouldn’t why does God not apply the same standard to the Great Apostasy?

Adolf Hitler was baptized Catholic — but baptism alone does not guarantee holiness or salvation. In this homily, Fr. John Hollowell reflects on the meaning of baptism, original sin, and the ongoing spiritual battle each of us faces after receiving the grace of the sacraments. Drawing on powerful analogies from hiking and mountaineering, Fr. Hollowell explains why baptism is the beginning of the Christian adventure, not the end. Baptism makes us adopted sons and daughters of God and temples of the Holy Spirit — gifts even Adam and Eve did not possess. Yet, as the Catechism teaches, the consequences of sin remain, and we are still called to strive, cooperate with grace, and put our God-given talents to work. This homily challenges us to avoid complacency, to take our faith seriously, and to find joy, peace, and purpose in striving for holiness through the sacraments, especially the Eucharist and Confession.
When the Holy Spirit came, Peter rose to explain what was happening, and how people should respond.

This episode answers the major questions surrounding baptism. Considering Acts 2, Emma Dotter and her guest, Tyler Moffett, bring clarity to doctrinal issues such as, “Do I need to get baptized?” and “Is baptism necessary for salvation?” This discussion doesn't stop there but calls maturing believers to their next step of obedience regarding baptism. Then, to wrap up we examine Peter's statement in Acts 2:40, “Save yourselves from this crooked generation.” Is salvation up to you? Can you really save yourself? Listen to dig into this interpretive challenge. ADDITIONAL VERSES MENTIONED: Matthew 28:19-20 Galatians 2:20 Colossians 1:13-14 Ephesians 2:8-9 – Salvation not by works Titus 3:5 – Salvation not by works Deuteronomy 32:5 Matthew 17:17 Philippians 2:14-15 RESOURCES FOR FURTHER STUDY: Read Watermark's doctrinal statement on Baptism: https://www.watermark.org/about/full-doctrinal-statement GotQuestions: https://www.gotquestions.org/Christian-baptism.html How to get baptized at Watermark Community Church: https://www.watermark.org/baptism Explore the sermon series from Watermark Community Church about what it means to be a Spirit-led church: https://www.watermark.org/series/1471 RELATED JOIN THE JOURNEY EPISODES: - Overview of the book of Acts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/join-the-journey/id1600151923?i=1000579810400 - What if my possession of the Spirit feels mundane? https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/join-the-journey/id1600151923?i=1000580618106 WHAT IS JOIN THE JOURNEY?

We learn how Jesus began His ministry by being baptized and then facing temptation in the wilderness. Even when tempted, Jesus obeyed God perfectly by trusting and using God's Word—showing us why He is the Savior who came to rescue sinners.
