Speaker: Zac Poonen Title: Baptism Date: 06-21-2015 Our Goal as Christians is this: To be an exact reflection of Jesus, the Son of God (Romans 8:29) We do this individually by growing in purity in our personal lives (1 John 3:2-3) We do this corporately by becoming fully functioning members of a local Church (Ephesians 4:11-16)
Summary
The core message of baptism is that it is primarily an act of obedience to God's Word, rather than requiring full intellectual understanding. The speaker emphasizes that baptism symbolizes a burial with Christ's death and a resurrection into a new life. This new life means having a desire not to sin again, representing a fundamental change in attitude, like a cat jumping out of dirty water.
