Baptize Your Babies

06/20/22 • 47 min

Episode 8 addresses the controversial topic of infant baptism. Most Christians in America have never grappled with the biblical claim of baby baptism. Or, they have dismissed it due to the grave misunderstanding of what baptism is, according to scripture. In addition, FLAME reviews his song, Mark Them from his current EP, Word And Water, regarding the matter. This week’s reading is from the book, Has American Christianity Failed, by Bryan Wolfmueller. Also, FLAME was inspired to give away a few books. The person who writes the most compelling and comprehensive statement on baptismal regeneration will receive two free books. A paragraph or two is sufficient. No longer than one page. The two giveaways are:
1. Has American Christianity Failed by Bryan Wolfmueller
2. Baptized Into Christ: A Guide to the Christian Life by Jordan Cooper
For those who want to read further into the historicity of infant baptism, I’d recommend:
1. Infant Baptism In the First Four Centuries by Joachim Jeremias
2. The Origins of Infant Baptism by Joachim Jeremias

Order of Baptism & the Givings of the Holy Spirit

This installment is a response to episode 7 on Spirit Baptism and Pentecost, from Acts 2. In it, FLAME addressing misconceptions from some in his comment sections. The book of Acts is unique. The term, "redemptive historic uniqueness" has been used to describe its nature. Many have questions concerning the varying descriptions of the givings of the Holy Spirit. As well as, the varying descriptions of baptism's oder in connection with the giving of the Holy Spirit. In some cases, the Holy Spirit is given through baptism. In other cases, person's were baptized but had not received the Holy Spirit until the Apostles laid hands on them. FLAME aims to bring clarity to this concern. Also, he sets out to prove that the varying order of things does not mean one must experience a second and more superior baptism. Known as, "Spirit Baptism." Enjoy!
