From the Show

What is baptism? It is a sign of the gospel and a seal of his goodwill towards his people. On the basis of the Scripture, I believe that baptism is rightly administered to the children of believers. Just like circumcision was administered to children under the Old Covenant, we as Christians can baptize our children in the New Covenant.

–Adriel Sanchez

Under What Circumstances Should Someone Be Rebaptized?

Questions in this Episode

  1. How should I pray for the elderly who are nearing the end of life?
  2. How will we recognize the antichrist? My friend has bought into a lot of conspiracy theories about how Bill Gates is the antichrist, what can I say to him?
  3. I was baptized as a child and was raised with and believe in the covenantal views of baptism. I am now married and attend a Baptist church with my husband. In order for me to become a member at that church I must be rebaptized and it must also be by submersion. While I agree with ‘believers baptism’ when someone becomes a believer, I also believe that my baptism as a child was a sign and seal of God’s covenant promises to me. Is it wrong to be rebaptized so that I can become a member at my church?
  4. What should I do when my pastor loses focus on the story of Easter?
  5. What is the rapture?
  6. Was Jesus omnipotent as a baby?
