Zac Poonen - A Message on Baptism
Speaker: Zac Poonen Title: A Message on Baptism Date: 08-25-2019 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 speaker distinguishes between John's baptism of repentance and the baptism commanded by Jesus. While John's baptism acknowledges past sin, Jesus' baptism signifies a desire to be united with Christ in his death to sin, leading to the power of his resurrection. True baptism involves a complete immersion, symbolizing the burial of the old self and the reliance on God to raise the believer to a new life.
