CLIP: 1 Corinthians 1 and Baptism

Did Paul really say baptism isn’t necessary in 1 Corinthians 1:17?In this clip from Episode 218 of The Hacka Podcast, Evangelist Simeon Costa and I address one of the most common objections to the necessity of baptism. When Paul writes, “Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel,” what does he actually mean?Together, we walk through the context of 1 Corinthians 1, Paul’s own baptism in Acts 22, and his actions in Acts 19 to show there is no contradiction in Scripture. This conversation isn’t about debate — it’s about reading the whole Bible carefully.
