The David Spoon Experience 9-7-22 Part 2

This 60-minutes is all about: 1) Baptism. The first part of this is a great way to remember the 12 Disciples. B for Bartholomeu, A for Andrew, P for Phillip, and T for Thomas. The two Simons, two James, and two Judas, with Matthew and John as Gospel writers. Fun stuff. But what is Baptism? It is the outward expression of an inward work. So what’s the problem with the different theologies? The problem is not because of the Word. The problem is with people and their pride. So it always has been and always will be until the Lord returns. But why, Dave? Because people are more arrogant than we can afford to be. And needing to be right is more important than needing to be like Jesus. Do you know who else thought they were always right? The Pharisees. 2) Baptism: Baptizo >>> Bapto >>> “To Immerse” (From dyeing a garment). There are three significant views on Baptism. 1) Sacramental View: (Roman Catholic & Lutheran), 2) Covenantal View: 3) Symbolic View: (Most Protestant Churches). This falls under ecclesiology which is the study of church practices. We will also cover Infant Baptism and Believer’s Baptism. These views should NEVER be a matter of fellowship. Ever. 3) We examine the four significant accomplishments demonstrated when Jesus was baptized. Why was The Father pleased? Plus, we venture into unknown territory by exploring the methodology of Baptism. Finally, we offer a thought as to the conclusion of the matter. Will this teaching resolve everyone’s disagreement? No. But it will help us all walk together better.
