We just had several baptisms at church last week. So much different. Each candidate was asked why they wanted to be baptized & gave a short testimony & then were baptized in the name of the Father, Son & Holy, Spirit. Joel's baptisms seem to be a numbers thing & everybody wants to get in on the act at the big name church. So very sad.

The mini documentary 'New Life in Christ' (1979) is very touching. In it, people give their testimonies about what the Lord did to change them and sees them getting baptised. I strongly recommend it.

[@christabewley]

before I was baptised I had to do weekly classes for 4-6 weeks so I knew what I was doing. On the day, I gave my testimony so that the church community could support me, and the minister asked me questions (confession of faith) and then charged the church with committing to help nurture me in my faith. What Joel is doing is empty and meaningless.

[@KevinHale-vq2xr]

Like your work but Infant water baptism is not anything Jesus pointed to. Just disagree. I get why reform continues it

[@Window4503]

Was baptized as an infant, still a believer today. Jesus said “let the little children come to me and do not hinder them”. And mind you, the parents were bringing their kids to Jesus.

[@p.b.9428]

In fairness, Bezel didn’t give a definitive age. He also stated at one point, “ …putting aside who should be baptized …”, and went on to make a point about the importance of how it should be done. I believe in reformed theology. With that said, even some of the best current reformed teachers can’t agree on this subject.

[@solideomusical]

​​@@Window4503 Glad to hear that, but the infant baptism played no role in you becoming a believer. None. There are plenty of people who are baptized as infants and die in their unbelief. Yes, parents brought their kids to Jesus but Jesus didn't baptize a single one of them- nor did he command that they be baptized. Seems like that would have been a 'softball' for the case of infant baptism but Jesus didn't swing.

[@LisaAllen-bl7bf]

My adult son was baptized several months ago at his church. He was baptized by his father in law in the name of Jesus Christ only. As a matter of fact his father in law started to say “in the name of the Father…” but corrected himself to just say in Jesus name. It struck me as questionable. Any thoughts?

[@LisaAllen-bl7bf]

Also, many years ago I stopped attending a church that was clearly transitioning to New Apostolic Reformation. They called their baptism service “plunge parties”. I did not like that. It felt sacrilegious.

[@Savedbygrace22]

Scripture says both. But to correct yourself to not say the Father and the Holy Spirit is an error in thinking. It almost sounds antiTrinitarian. Also Lakewood is a false church with a false teacher. I suggest you watch the channels: Fighting for the Faith with Chris Rosebrough and Justin Peters channel to see many videos on the false teacher, Joel Osteen. Also google “Steve Lawson and Joel Osteen” to find a famous sermon by Lawson. Very telling. God bless 🙏✝️

[@raymondnoppe5924]

What's critical in my mind is to mainly say "I or we baptize you in God's name" Technically Jesus God and the holy ghost (holy spirit) are all in one God, so in God's name means all in one?

[@theyjustwantyourmoney4539]

At least the Jordan river flows but that Lakewood pool water needed changing 🤔

[@ashtonians]

I don't disagree with the general point being made here, but it's a little much to criticize the word "water" in "water baptism" since the Scriptures also speak of baptism by fire and baptism in/with or by the Holy Spirit. It's always good to know before you sign up to be baptized that you are not actually going to be baptized in fire. Just saying.

[@gregmatz3693]

It makes it sound like baptism is about forgiveness of sins. I'm not against baptism but you need to understand the concept of baptism and it should not be confused with the Lord's Supper. Baptism is an outward sign of an inward conversion where the Lord's Supper is done to remember what Jesus did on the cross, His death, burial and resurrection. 1Corinthians 11:23-26. For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus in the night which He was betrayed took bread; and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, This is My body,which is for you, do this in remembrance of Me. In the same way He took the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new covenant in My blood; do this as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me. For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until He comes. That goes along with Matthew 26:26-29. We celebrate the Lord's Supper in remembrance and inticipation of this Lord's return. Please don't relate baptism with the sacrament of the Lord's Supper. They are two different things.

[@debsad7500]

We will agree to disagree on infant baptism. Jesus is the covenant. Period. I’ve talked with folks over the years that are convinced they were saved because they were sprinkled as an infant. Joel Osteen will be known as the coolest pastor ever who lead a plethora of people into the depths of hell. This seems to skirt around blasphemy. Heart breaking 💔.

@@richardclark. I never said it was deceptive. My point is how Bezel describes baptism as a sacrament. Baptism is an outward sign of an inward conversion. I agree on some of what Bezel says as far as exposing false teachers and false prophets. Baptism is not a sacrament and I would like anyone to show me where in the Bible that would describe baptism as a sacrament. I would disagree with Bezel also on eschatology and end times prophecy. Either all of the Bible is literal or it is not. There is plain literal and figurative literal but nonetheless they are both literal. My point is that Bezel's explanation of baptism isn't completely true or Biblical.

[@gregmatz3693]

Maybe Joel could sell tickets on an amusement park ride where everybody gets on the ride and they go through the water.

[@enigma4281]

So we can disagree but considering your stance on truth then how can you equate circumcision under the old covenant with the new covenant (if my understanding of what you are saying is this)? Biblically speaking it's a slight of hand (which you review many others who do this) and jump to it as a replacementt. Well the question is this. The fact baptisms were being done prior to Christ's arrival and endorsed by John the Baptist EVEN though they were already circumcised makes no sense in your quotes from the bible. Also Jesus said to be born of water and the Spirit. When baptism is mentioned what else is normally mentioned...... REPENT. The ethiopian enuch is important here. It was HIS understanding of the scriptures which led to him asking about baptism. So I am always disappointed when you are so keen on pointing out errors and issues with pthers but yet skirt around issues like this. this is not a simple issues to 'agree to disagree' . If indeed you believe it's a sign for children does that mean you think that there is no adult baptism? What happens here? Love what you do!

[@gregmatz3693]

Baptism is not a sacrament. It is an outward sign of repentance or putting our faith and trust in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. The Greek for repent is metanoeo which means a change of mind and is a synonymous with faith, trust or belief that Jesus Christ is the one and only true Messiah. It represents the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. My biggest problem with this so called Baptism is that are these people really saved? Joel Osteen doesn't preach about sin, heaven and hell so how can you be saved from something you don't even know about? Joel is nothing but a motivational speaker. He has publicly said that even Mormons go to heaven so I guess that means that anybody who is baptized will go to heaven which goes along with Lutheran, Methodist and Catholic doctrine. No where in scripture does it say that baptizing a child produces salvation.

Did the thief on the cross have a chance to be baptized? Jesus said that today you will be with me in paradise. You only quoted half of Mark 16:16. He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who has disbelieve shall be condemned. It is about belief and being baptized in the Holy Spirit. If this refers to water baptism, notice that is unbelif, not failure to be baptized, that condemns. Water baptism does not save.
