Let's Talk About Baptism!

For something that is practiced by all Christian churches, baptism is also widely misunderstood. What is baptism? How is it to be done? Who is to receive it and when? In today’s video, I will play the video of a recent sermon by Jim Osman on baptism. It is very thorough and quite good. After the sermon, I will interview Jim and ask him what the feedback has been like. It will encourage you.
Jim's sermon begins at 04:02
Interview with Jim at 55:18

I was "saved" I a pentecostal church went I was 24 and was baptized. I am now 67 and can say it has only been about 6 years since I repented and turned to Christ Jesus to trust Him. I praise God He kept me . Now I am looking to be baptized. (My church is very small). I believe God will make a way. Thank you so much for your faithful way of teaching the Jesus of the Bible.

So do we have to be water baptised & speak in tongues to be truly saved.?

[@mawmawvee]

@@texsis2112No to tongues, but I have no regrets whatsoever that I chose to be baptized by immersion and I would say do look into it and ask the Holy Spirit to help you understand it and lead you in your understanding and He will.

Dorigalle--Don't be afraid to get 💦 water baptized...I was baptized when I was 72 and I am almost 5' 10"....I was afraid I wouldn't fit into the tank because the Church basically built the tank for our congregation, and they are mostly Asians...Well, with the help of the Pastor, his son, and the Assistant Pastor, I was able to get in there and be baptized...They also "taped" it and showed it to the entire congregation on Sunday morning...I think that if I got baptized, ANYBODY can get baptized...God bless everybody😅❤

@@JustinPetersMin thank you for all your teachings and videos, they have helped me tremendously. With that said I have a question that I have never heard explained nor taught on and that’s the scripture about a little leaven, leaven’s the whole thing. Well, everyone says we must overlook or walk in love even if certain things that are not biblical or is straddling the fence so to speak. That’s wrong to me. I see a apple looks good on outside but when it’s cut open there’s parts that are rotten or about to go bad so please help me understand how a Christian can walk hand in hand or sit under, partake of that ministry, with those that are teaching false doctrine that in no way lines up with the word of God, or with those that twist the word to make it say what they want it to say and mean. Clear as mud? Sorry. Thank you again for your sweet loving spirit but boldness to speak the truth, you are very much appreciated. God bless

[@mawmawvee]

@@benniehaner2195 Leavening is yeast and when it's added to flour it makes the whole loaf rise, so we need to stay away from false teachers because they don't really teach truth. It was a good question you asked, here. May God always be with you, as you grow in Christ Jesus and the Word of God. I think that the leavening will speak about false teachings that can lead people astray and confuse them. It's like the saying that one rotten apple can spoil all the others that are boxed up with it and it certainly can. Most of the fruits I can think of will do that, as well.

I was "baptized" when I was 11 at summer camp. I wanted to go swimming in the pool which is where the "baptism" took place. I was regenerated at 16 and got my true baptism in the creek by our Church on Sunday morning. I remember it like it was yesterday. 😄

I had a Charismatic cousin said they saved and baptized 150 people when visiting a foreign country. He said it was amazing they didn’t even speak English however decided to come down to be baptized. Then said we fed them after each service. I still think the problem was they were giving a meal to those baptized and the people had no clue what was happening.

Mr. Peters this very thing happened to me when I was 5. I prayed the prayer with my parents, was baptized. Fast forward last year when I was 41 and I came to the realization that there was no way in my last 41 years that there was no evidence that I was a believer. I became very guilty of my sin and repented. Was then baptized a few months later. So grateful for Gods grace in saving me. Wonderful message. Thank you.

I was baptized 8 years ago from the church i used to attend to but had no idea and did not truly understand what was the reason behind it because i was young and the Church have had made all the youth do it during summer. But this Pastor made me understand what is baptism actually mean and being immersed in Jesus. I left the Church because of false teachings from Pastor to Youth Pastors and other elders in the church. As of now i don’t have a church and im only listening to online services and teachings from KZbin and i thank God for using you Sir Justin Peter. I am praying that one day God will lead me to a new Home where i can serve the Lord and Worship God and be baptized. All Glory to the Most High.

Thank you X a million Justin! This was truly an epic sermon on baptism. I was the saved but not baptized decades ago. Never gone to church so I put it off but was often convicted for a few years so I finally joined a church just for that. I did it and was never so happy in my life. My unsaved husband refused to attend and kept our children home but I was determined. I was profoundly sad not to share that but ecstatic I was finally faithful. Some thirty years later still praying for my families salvation but God is Sovereign. Peace my dear brother 🙏✝️

[@MeanBadger89]

This sermon is honestly a God send. My 10 year old had recently asked me why we get Baptized. I told her that I need to pray about that question & when I fully understood why I would tell her. My parents always told me that baptism was an outward example of an inward acceptance/change of Jesus Christ. & That was never a sufficient answer for me. I never really understood WHY, as a Christ believing/following Christian, I had to be baptized. My parents are big into Charismatic Christianity. I have been searching for a sermon to share with my children, about why Christians get baptized. & Why their dad & I have not allowed them to be baptized yet. I have always wanted it to be their choice & insure that they understand the weight of what baptism is. I've always felt that baptism was a much bigger deal than what most people give it credit. I was 'baptized' at 12, not fully understanding why. I have been feeling lead to be baptized, because I couldn't have understood such an important act. Thank you Pastor Peters, this is such an important sermon.🙏❤️

[@randallrader680]

Watch Paul Lucas on water baptism. The very best explanation I've ever heard

[@terrypaul7706]

Paul says leaving the doctrines of baptism and laying on of hands eternal judgement faith in God and let us go on to perfection. What’s he saying? He’s saying these are all symbols of internal deeper things. Stop dunking yourselves in water when it’s spiritual. Water in the bible is truth. John says I baptise with water ( truth) but one will come who will baptise you with fire. ( spirit) .. it is ALL about within you , the kingdom is within you Jesus said. It’s about the mind ( human conciousness) awareness. Earth, water, air, fire, new mind. Low nature, higher divine nature. Mind of Christ. It’s the spirit of the story that gives life not the letter. ( literal ). It’s veiled to those who do not seek as Jesus said. All water will do is make you religious and follow the blind. Jump in the water if you want but after you are immersed in the truth, that sets you free, then meet Christ in the air of no thought. Through being still and silent , watching and waiting within.

[@SpotterVideo]

Which baptism is a part of the salvation process, based on what the Bible says? What did Peter say below? Acts 11:15 And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the beginning. Acts 11:16 Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost. Act 11:17 Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift as he did unto us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ; what was I, that I could withstand God? Based on Luke 3:16, and John 1:33, and Acts 11:15-16, the most important thing about the word "baptize" in the New Testament has nothing to do with water. The Holy Spirit is the master teacher promised to New Covenant believers in Jeremiah 31:34, and John 14:26, and is found fulfilled in Ephesians 1:13, and 1 John 2:27. Unfortunately, many modern Christians see water when they read the word "baptize" in the text. Based on the above, what is the one baptism of our faith found in the passage below? How many times is the word "Spirit" found in the passage, and how many times is the word "water" found in the passage? Eph 4:1 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, Eph 4:2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; Eph 4:3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. Eph 4:4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; Eph 4:5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism, “baptize” KJV Mat_3:11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire: Mar_1:8 I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost. Luk_3:16 John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire: Joh_1:26 John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not; Joh_1:33 And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.

[@DonnaDiane74]

You are a gift to me and I'm sure others like me who feel utterly lost in churches that seem to function around the social aspects of the church regulars, and not teaching The Gospel and disciplining the flock. I rarely actually learned anything about God and God's attributes at the Methodist church where I said the prayer and "got saved." I was sitting in church week after week and I was not "feeling the Spirit." People would get to running up and down the aisles, speaking in tongues and doing all of these grand gestures and the church would go crazy. I thought that since I didn't have these kind of experiences that it just didn't work it, it wasn't for me. I was not chosen. I left the church and honestly have not been back and that was maybe 30 years ago. That experience really damaged my faith a lot and I believe it set me back on my path to Salvation. I was never told I was a sinner. I was never told why the world is wicked so I blamed God. This alone has caused me to doubt to the point of not believing The Bible because what God makes a world like this? I am so humbled that God didn't forget me and now I am learning so much from ministries like yours and John MacArthur primarily. I have an appetite for The Word, plain and simple, as if sitting in a classroom. And it makes perfect sense that I would learn better like this because classrooms aren't conducted as concerts and magic shows, they are quiet and they are structured and organized. I have never been baptized and I want to prepare for that great day. Thank you for this sermon. 🤍

[@n.ceelen4507]

I like to tell you the story of my mother. During the 2nd WW my mum was not baptized. She was so sad because she loved Lord Jesus so much and she said I am not baptized and Lord Jesus said I should, so at the age of 12 she got baptized. She had the Holy Spirit her whole life.Together with my dad I was raised in Christianity. My Mam was the one who prayed for us and her prayer was mostly answered. She spoke of Our Heavenly Father who loved us so much that He gave His only begotten Son Jesus Christ. Mostly she was the one who read from the Bible after dinner and she would sing after that together with us . She pointed always to the 10 commandments, and to Jesus Christ our Savoir. She got baptized at the age of 12, because she wanted to and understood what it was. She was a true Christen her whole life and so was my dad. I stil miss my parents everyday....I was so blessed with the parents God gave me!

[@mawmawvee]

I feel the same way about my own mother and mothers' prayers are very powerful. My grandmother, my mother's mother also fervently prayed for her family every day.

[@mawmawvee]

My mother came from a Christian background and I was, as well, through her and her love of God, demonstrated by her everyday life. She was a schoolteacher and knew how to teach. She had stayed home to raise me and, since she taught as easily as she breathed, she would give me life lessons from God's word. I was christened as a baby. After my dad died, Mom moved down here to Louisiana to be with us and our two children. When my husband and I were baptized, we told her and one time I was talking to Mom and told her why we were baptized, which was that we died with Christ in baptism and rose to become new creations. After that, she wanted to be baptized, so she was baptized at our little Church of Christ. She understood we don't inherit our salvation because we come from a Christian background and little babies are too young to consent and choose to be buried with Christ in baptism and arise as a new creation. Mom went to a little baptist church downtown within walking distance and it was suggested to her that she should be baptized into the baptist church. She told the minister that she had already baptized and was buried with Christ in baptism and her sins were forgiven. The preacher didn't argue with Mom... Mom's whole family loved God and lived that love in their everyday lives. It was only after I grew up that I realized just how much they all loved and lived for God. They were such good examples in their lives and I was blessed to be born into such a family, but when we got here is when I realized that we don't inherit our salvation because of the family we are born into. When I went to church with my friend and neighbor, I was so thirsty to be forgiven on my sinful nature that I soaked up the Bible teaching as though I was starving to death and I actually was starving, hungering to learn everything about God in Christ Jesus. My husband started coming with me, with our children and he was baptized shortly after I was. He came out of the Catholic church and has never looked back, but he went to Catholic schools and studied Catholicism until he graduated from high school, so he knows the Catholic church well. He considers his faith to be private, but he's open to talking with me about what being a Christian means to him. God understands him better than I do and God will let him go at his own pace, to grow as he learns. He professes to be a Christian first and only, so he got what an amazing being God in Christ Jesus is and what Jesus did to reconcile us to God. I can hardly hold back the tears when I tell him how deeply it all affects me, what Jesus has done for all who believe He died for remission/forgiveness of our sins and what He suffered as our Perfect Sacrifice.

He said that I should, and I was. I’m sure there are so many that are struggling over the same question.

My memory isn't all that good, but I know I was saved sometime between 9-11 years old, my Father went to Dallas Theological Seminary from 1990-1995. So when I was young, he taught my brothers and I a lot about the Bible and Scripture. I truly and whole heartedly believe I am Saved, however, I waited til 2018-2019 (36-37) to be Baptized/Immersed. At the time I was going to Central Baptist College and learning the scripture in depth. After a semester of in depth learning of Romans, I felt I needed to be baptized, at the church I was going to, Fellowship Bible Church. I totally agree with your teaching on Baptism, it is the same I have been taught by my Father, the few great Pastors I've had in my life and by my Professors at CBC.

Hello Justin, thanks for this video... I saw about 50% and will continue. I am a baptist (living in germany) and my baptism took place when I was around 20 years old - long time ago. One thing I remeber was the moment when the pastor raised his hands and blessed me - then a kind of electric shock was running through my body and I fall in the water - the next 10 days I was smiling and smiling... Interesting... Very nice experience - that you Jesus! But things changed, actually I am fighting with depressive moments in my live. It is quite hard to resist and not always possible. But I know, that God will lead me through and show me the neccessary points which I have to change... One thing is my min. 25 years hard struggle in martial arts (KungFu, TaiChi, ChiGong) - where I think I got a lot of bad spiritual influences - although I try to practice later as a christ. That seems to be impossible... So Justin, all the best to you and God's blessings!! Norbert

I grew up in a non-Christian home, and I'd never heard of the gospel until I picked up a bible at the age of 30.

I was then baptized that same year. Next, I underwent one-on-one discipleship with my pastor over a period of 6 months, and have been proclaiming the gospel every opportunity I have for the past 23 years.

The Bible has verses where I think it was King David who danced and sang God's praises and there are passages where worshipers played musical instruments to praise God, so I don't have a problem with that point. We had an Elder who taught classes and he was spot-on about many things I hear on videos like this one. I was baptized into Christ Jesus, was buried with Him in baptism by immersion and arose a new creation in Christ. So were my husband and our two children as they got older. I was baptized by immersion because that's mentioned in the Bible. When I was growing up, my mother went to an Episcopal church nearby and I went with her. I was, christened as a baby, but a baby cannot give true consent and no one else can give that assent for that baby. As an adult, I realized this and so, after giving my whole self to God in Christ Jesus and it followed that I wanted to be baptized with Christ by immersion as He was and then to arise as a new creation. I'm so grateful for the Bible teachings I received from that Elder's classes. It was there that I learned so many good teachings which have become part of me over the years. I rely on our Precious Holy Spirit to lead me to truth even more fully, which started out as a new Christian. I'm so thankful that God called me to Jesus and that, through Jesus, I was reconciled to God and forgiven of my sins. The Holy Spirit has led me to answers I've asked of Him, in amazing ways and He has also shown me when I'm seeing truth, or not. I realize that God didn't owe us salvation, but through Jesus, it is the most wonderful, glorious gift that we could ever be given. It's awesome love and the older I've gotten and have grown as a Christian, the more deeply touching it has become. I appreciate my brothers, Justin Peters and people like Jim Osman and others for being able to make videos so we can see what's what. Thank you.

Currently, I don't go to church, I don't have transport to get to a church but it's not an excuse, my problem is, there are so many false churches, how do I know the right church? I love Jesus with all my being, I know I'm a sinner and a bad person, I believe the Gospel with all my heart and soul, Jesus is my beginning and my end. What should I do? At the moment I watch sermons of yourself, John MacArthur, Paul Washer, and Joe Kirby on youtube so I can hear the word of God every day.

You mentioned Mary Baxter's testimony on heaven and hell and through the wisdom of the Holy Spirit you pointed out how the Apostle Paul was caught up to the third heaven and heard inexpressable things that he was not permitted to speak about. ( So its 100% crystal clear that when a true Apostle Paul was not allowed to speak about paradise by Almighty God, why would Almighty God allow mere men and women who are not even Apostles to speak about visitations to heaven. Also: 1 Corinthians 2:9 However, as it is written: " No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived What God has prepared for those who love him. ( Thanks so much for the revelation and wisdom God has given you and sharing such knowledge and discernment with your brother's and sisters throughout the world. God bless you and your ministry and family in the mighty name of Jesus Christ because KZbin is rampant with false teachings and visitations of heaven and hell by mere men and women making money from writing books and deceiving numerous naive Christians, including myself until now.

If words mean anything, Paul stated there was ONE baptism (Ephesians 4.5). One is one, not two. Do you believe there is more than one Lord, more than one faith? Water baptism was valid during God’s dealing with Israel (washings), during John the Baptist and Jesus’ earthly ministry, with the Twelve, and in the early part of Paul’s ministry. In the gospel of the kingdom water baptism was required for salvation (Mark 1.4, 16.16, John 3.5, Acts 2.38, 22.16). But that ended. We know it was on the way out from what Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 1 (and water baptism was never a requirement for salvation under Paul’s gospel). By the time Paul wrote the Ephesians, it was over. This is not complicated. The Scriptures are straightforward. The problem, once again, is tradition. Christians have been so brainwashed that baptism always means water they cannot think of it in any other terms. The only baptism, the GREAT baptism is 1 Corinthians 12.13 and Romans 6.

I was convicted of my sins and granted repentance and faith to trust in the work of Christ in my place on the cross when I was 11. I understood that baptism represented being buried with Christ and rising to new life. I also understood the representation of the sacrifice of Christ in the Lords Table and after speaking with my parents and pastor I joined the church and was baptised and took the Lords Table for the first time. I may not have been able to give a detailed exposition of the faith at that time but I am sure of the work of the Spirit who opened my eyes to the truth of the gospel through the preaching of the word and the practice of the ordinances. All glory be to Christ for His unspeakable gift!

I feel I was saved the same way as you. I grew up in the church and understood the basics of knowing I was/am/will be a sinner and that Jesus died for me and to be a Christian was to be "Christ like", as to do as he did. He was baptized and I was taught, through scripture, that is also how we may receive the Holy Spirit. I mad my confession at 14 and was baptized right after such as the Eunuch in Acts 8:36. I've grown in my studies over the years that baptism is not what saves, as you are saved by your mouth, but if you confess and were to die right there, would that negate your profession of faith? No. All glory to Jesus for what he has done in our place and eternally grateful we shall be.

Then at ten yrs old in Bible school my friends told me I wasn’t saved and we argued.....so I went to my preacher and told him so he baptized me in front of the church. Then later at 20 I did things a Christian should never do ( but I sin daily) yet this was something that tore my own heart apart and I felt God letting me know either I act like a child of HIS or He’S taking me home. I went to my minister ( different S.Baptist church) and I confessed to him and we prayed....I then during the service went up and rededicated my life and was baptized because I wanted to.......I have not been perfect since but know it and have to make choices that have even cost me my children.

There is no mention of earthly water (H2O), but we are to be immersed in the NAME of the HOLY TRINITY itself! Those three MUST be our everything always!
