Our study today is of a more positive nature in that the remaining articles in both the Westminster and Baptist confessions are essentially the same. Therefore, we will discuss of blessings of the Lord’s Supper.
Our study today involves a further study of the distinction of the Lord’s Supper between the Protestants and the Baptists. Is it a mystery linked with various emotions or is it revealing the death of Christ in a memorial service?
In this study we begin comparing the difference between the standard reformed view and the Baptist view of the Lord’s Supper. This lesson also reviews again what is meant by the term “sacrament” because it is generally misunderstood by most people.
Today we will begin looking at the distinction between the Reformers and the Baptist regarding the Lord’s Supper. In this lesson we will show some of the basic positions of the Reformers.
The purpose of baptism is aligned with an understanding of the finished work of Christ. Too often in the worship of God today, baptism is centered on an emotional experience of the candidate or the increasing of a membership role. Hopefully, our study today will give deeper insight to the purpose of baptism.
We are continuing to study the purpose of baptism. In this day of emphasizing emotions and experiences over spiritual wisdom, it is essential that the purpose of baptism is ascertained.
Today we will begin studying the purpose of baptism. Since it is only taught in the New Testament, it is important that we know the purpose for which God gave this ordinance to His repentant believers.
Today’s episode contains Part 4 of our study of I Corinthians 12:13. It is a compilation of various scholars who support the view that this verse is water baptism and not some kind of “spirit baptism.”
Today’s episode contains Part 3 of our study of I Corinthians 12:13. In this episode, we will mainly consider the interpretation of the verse itself.
This episode is Part 2 of our study of I Corinthians 12:13. As previously stated, this passage is often used by both Baptists and Protestants to teach what is considered “spirit baptism” or “regeneration.”
As stated in our last podcast, today we will study I Corinthians 12:13. This passage is often used by both Baptists and Protestants to teach what is considered “spirit baptism” or “regeneration.”
Today we will look at the remaining passages given from the Westminster Confession of Faith which the Protestants use to support the baptism of infants of believing parents.
Today we continue to look at some of the other basic passages which the Protestants use to support the baptism of infants of believing parents.
We have studied the Greek words for baptism and their connection with the rite of water baptism in the New Testament. Today we will look at some of the other basic passages which the Protestants use to support the baptism of infants of believing parents.
In our previous studies regarding Greek words for baptism and their connection with the rite of water baptism, we covered the gospels and the book of Acts. Today we continue by looking into the epistles.
Previously we studied the passages in the gospels regarding the Greek words for baptism and how they are used in connection with baptism. Our study today continues with this theme in the book of Acts.
Today we begin considering who is the proper subject or candidate for baptism. In this study, we find that a major difference between Baptists and Reformers is that the Reformers include infants whereas Baptists do not. This podcast covers how the Greek words for baptism are used in connection with the rite of baptism in the gospels.
As we conclude our study of the mode of baptism, we will see from meaning and use of the Greek words for immersion, sprinkling, and pouring are not synonymous. Scripture shows the Lord using these three words together in the same context and it is obvious that they are not identical. Also, the use of prepositions with the Greek word for baptism clearly teaches that baptism is performed “in water” and not “with water.”
This episode continues our study on the mode of baptism. We see the importance of following the details of the inspired Word of God. Equally, it asserts that immersion, sprinkling, and pouring are not synonymous and gives a simple illustration to prove this.
Since the truth of baptism is essential to the identity of a New Testament congregation, we need to know what baptism is. This podcast begins this discussion. The question of the right to change the way that baptism was originally performed begins to be addressed with this broadcast.
The message today opens the discussion as to why it is important to know what one believes and why he should believe it. In a world that proclaims that truth is relative, we find that foundational principles of what one believes force him to hold to a world view, and that view is not relative. It is truth to him.
This podcast shows the difference between an ordinance and a sacrament. The reformers believe that the sacraments are means of grace and a mystery of revealing the Lord to those who participate in them. Conversely, the Baptists maintain they are ordinances given by the Lord to be performed by believers for His honor and glory.
In our discussion today, we begin to see some of the basic doctrinal differences between Baptists and Reformers directly resulting from the disagreement regarding the relationship between the Old and New Covenants. Many of these differences are very fundamental to the overall interpretation of the Scriptures concerning these doctrines.
While there are many covenants given in the Scriptures, many of the differences between Baptists and Protestants are due to how the Old and New Testaments are viewed. The Protestants believe that the New Testament is an extension of the Old, while the Baptists maintain that it is not.
