Let's Talk Baptism

In this episode, Curt and Aaron talk about your guest getting baptized! What is a Baptism; Is baptism necessary: from GCU A new believer in Christ needs a spiritual family, a family of the faith in Jesus. We are brothers and sisters in Christ and we need each other to grow in this faith. Being baptized marks a beginning of a journey of faith together with the family of Christian believers. Baptism seals the Christian union of brotherly love in service to God. Paul named baptism as one of the things that unify a body of Christian believers: Baptism is like a wedding ring. We put on a wedding ring as a symbol of our commitment and devotion. In the same way, baptism is a picture of devotion and commitment to Christ. A wedding ring reminds us and tells others that we belong to someone special. In the same way, baptism reminds us and others that we are devoted to Christ and belong to Him.

In it a few—that is, eight people[k]—were saved through water. 21 Baptism, which corresponds to this, now saves you (not as the removal of dirt from the body, but the pledge[l] of a good conscience toward God) through the resurrection of Jesus Chris CSB John 3.5 5 Jesus answered, "I assure you: Unless someone is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. https://www.gcu.edu/blog/theology-ministry/dear-theophilus-importance-baptism https://www.desiringgod.org/articles/what-does-the-bible-say-about-baptism https://www.desiringgod.org/articles/what-does-the-bible-say-about-baptism https://www.biblegateway.com https://www.podbean.com/ew/pb-zf3a5-1053d25
