Objective of this lesson - Doctrine of Baptisms

At the end of this session, you will understand the following:

-That there is more than one baptism

-That God is a threefold being and so are we

-That God has provided a baptism for each part of our threefold being and how through those baptisms we experience a complete salvation

Perhaps the most comprehensive of all the foundational doctrines is the teaching (or doctrine) of baptisms.

In it we learn about the threefold God (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) who created us in His image as a threefold man (spirit, soul, and body).

In this doctrine, we learn how God has provided a threefold baptism for each part of our threefold being.

We’ll also answer questions like, “can a Christian have an evil spirit?”, and “after we are born again, is that all there is or should we expect another experience”?

Let’s not forget the question about the gifts of the Holy Spirit― “Are they for today or did they all pass away when the original apostles died”? As I’m sure you can see, the answers to these questions are extremely important.
