Most churches \u201cdo baptism,\u201d but what does it actually mean? Dad breaks down the word baptizo (to submerge\/cover completely) and why baptism is far more than a religious ritual\u2014it\u2019s a public declaration of allegiance to the one true God and a renunciation of all others. We talk through:   Why baptism is a foundation of the faith (not a side issue)   John\u2019s baptism and how repentance prepared people for Messiah   Christian water baptism as an outward declaration with spiritual significance   The baptism of the Holy Spirit (and why believers debate it)   Why Western culture often ignores the spiritual realm\u2014and why Scripture doesn\u2019t   How to keep unity even when Christians disagree on secondary issues   If you\u2019ve ever wondered about infant baptism vs. believer\u2019s baptism, why Jesus was baptized, or what \u201cbaptism of the Spirit\u201d means\u2014this conversation will help you think biblically, not just traditionally. \ud83d\udce9 Want to talk with us or ask a question for a future episode?
