✝️ Unpacking Truths: Episode 118: Infant Baptism vs Believer Baptism

Could the answer to a centuries-old debate within Christianity lie in the waters of baptism? Pastor Kendall and Pastor Mo navigate through the turbulent yet spiritually enriching discourse on the significance of baptism. They dissect the origins of differing rituals such as infant baptism and believer's baptism, delving into their historical trajectories from the early church to the divisions carved out by the Protestant Reformation. With scriptural passages in hand, they scrutinize the household baptisms mentioned in Acts 16 and draw parallels with the Old Testament covenant sign of circumcision, venturing to understand the foundations of each practice and what they mean for a community's youngest members and their spiritual journey.

It's a tapestry of traditions being explored, reflecting the grand diversity within the Christian faith. As they examine the rich symbolism and the varied baptismal methods—from sprinkling to full immersion—they appreciate how every rite embodies deep theological convictions. The conversation takes listeners through personal stories of those who have experienced baptism by water and Spirit more than once, and how leadership roles in different congregations are shaped by these sacred waters. Alongside Pastor Kendall, Pastor Mo ponders the mysteries of baptism, celebrating the myriad ways it's practiced and the humility that must be embraced when acknowledging the divine elements that may just transcend human comprehension.
