How Should I Be Baptized?

Immersion or Sprinkling?

October 20, 2020

This excerpt is part of the class from October 21st. In this talk, Bryan explores three main reasons why immersion should be considered the best practice, even though the Bible doesn't contain any explicit commands about the exact form baptism should take.

Why Baptism Is More Important Than We Realize

October 14, 2020

After wrapping up our study on baptism, we still had a few questions come in that we wanted to address before moving on to our next topic. In this class, Bryan explores the Biblical connections between baptism, the Holy Spirit, and the blessings we receive from God. As we begin to understand how these concepts are intertwined, we'll discover that baptism is more important than we often realize! During this class, we'll also take a look at what the Bible says about the mode of baptism (immersion, sprinkling, or something else) as well as what it says about when we receive the Holy Spirit.

When Do We Receive the Holy Spirit?

October 20, 2020

Bryan shares a few thoughts about the connection between baptism and the gift of the Holy Spirit, based largely on four examples from the book of Acts. This talk is a short excerpt from the full-length class from October 21st.
