The promises of God are extended to us in baptism and we are called to lay hold of those promises by faith. When you are baptized, this is a gift given to you by God.

–Adriel Sanchez

What Does It Look Like to Put God First in Your Life?

Questions in this Episode

  1. I am planning a trip to Israel and was looking forward to being baptized again in the Jordan river. I know you have said once is enough. But is it ok to do it again for this special occasion?
  2. I was baptized as an infant and I don’t understand the repercussions of that. Can you help me understand the repercussions of baptism as a whole, I know it is in scripture, and that it doesn’t save you, but I am not sure what else it signifies or means.
  3. Are pastors ignoring the Final Judgment if they don’t preach the fear of God?
  4. How should I respond to those who refuse to forgive me?
