It is a great honor to share with you the fundamental principles of our Christian beliefs. While these teachings are foundational and not exhaustive, they form the basis of all Biblical truths. They will help shape your understanding of God, His thoughts about you, and His plans for your life.

In Hebrews chapter 6:1-3, we learn about essential truths that every believer should grasp to mature in their faith. A grasp of these topics will benefit the learner throughout their life. Understanding these doctrines is crucial to truly knowing God and guarding against the devil's deception.

These doctrines follow a specific sequence, set by God, and should be studied in order:

Repentance from Dead Works

Faith Toward God

Doctrine of Baptisms

Laying on of Hands

Resurrection of the Dead

Eternal Judgment

The verse emphasizes two spiritual goals. Firstly, to establish your spiritual life on the foundation of Jesus Christ:

"For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ." - 1 Corinthians 3:11

Secondly, to create a starting point for spiritual growth towards maturity:

"Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on to perfection..." - Hebrews 6:1

Doctrine of Baptisms - Session 1

Pastor Rob Goyette • Hebrews 6:1–3, Matthew 7:21–27, Genesis 1:27, Job 32:8, John 4

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.
