Heb. 6:1-2 The doctrine of baptisms Part 2

In the previous session I taught on the evangelical perspectives on water baptism, in this session we deal with the apostolic perspectives of water baptism. a) Man's basic problem (1) Man's basic problem is not primarily his acts of sin, but the fact that by nature he is a sinner (2) He is not a sinner because he sins, but rather he sins because he is a sinner. That is his nature(Psa.51:1-6) (3) His nature is sinful, that is what he inherited from his parents (Rom.5:12) Romans 5:12 (KJV) Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: (4) Iniquity is his nature and the natural product or fruit of it (Psa.51:2,5; 32:2; Rom.5:) Psalm 51:2 & 5 (KJV) Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. 5  Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.
