The Receptive Life

06/03/22 • 61 min

Episode 6 postulates the reality that we perpetually live in the posture of reception. All that we have, which pertains to life and Godliness, comes from God. A gift! Baptism is another delivery system whereby Jesus hands us salvation and assurance. This week's reading is from, The Spirituality of the Cross - 3rd Edition by Gene Edward Veith Jr. In addition, FLAME listens to and discusses his song, "Read Em All" from his EP, Word And Water.

Baptism's Daily Power

In episode 5, FLAME walks listeners through the implications of baptism's daily impact. A favorite line from the readings is, "God sent his Spirit to you in your Baptism to do just that--to kill the old Adam in you, to raise up the new you day by day, to keep you and make you what you will be." This episode also visits the popular song from Word And Water, The Patristics. As mentioned, the book containing the curation of quotes from the Apostolic Fathers and the Patristics is titled, What the Bible Teaches About Baptism & How the Earliest Christians
Understood These Biblical Texts by Chris Rosebrough. Enjoy the free download. http://0352182.netsolhost.com/Baptism%20Texts%20%26%20the%20Earliest%20Christians.pdf

Say No to "Spirit Baptism"

As promised, FLAME is addressing the notion of "Spirit Baptism." Some have stated there is a need for a superior baptism to water baptism. Others have stated "Spirit Baptism" replaces water baptism. Either way, both notions are incorrect. In this segment, FLAME will explain the origin, definition, and error of what some call, "Spirit Baptism." The article, THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT is available here: https://lutheranmissions.org/the-baptism-of-the-holy-spirit/ Enjoy!
