GROWING PAINS PART 2: BAPTISM

BAPTISM

WATER AND SPIRIT

Lexham Survey of Theology The Permanence of Salvation

if baptism was required to wash away sins but baptism was a one-time event, what recourse did those people have who sinned afterward?

JOHN 3 ESV

WE MUST DIE TO OURSELVES BY FAITH IN JESUS AND HIS FINISHED WORK THROUGH DEATH ON THE CROSS AND BE RAISED TO LIFE WITH HIM BY HIS RESURRECTION.

MESSAGE ABOUT SALVATION AND BAPTISM

WE LEARNED THE CHURCH IS THE BODY OF CHRIST, THIS WEEK WE ARE GOING TO LOOK AT HOW A PERSON BECOMES PART OF HIS BODY.

SALVATION

“I AM SAVED, I AM BEING SAVED, I WILL BE SAVED” - DR BEN WITHERINGTON III

Lexham Survey of Theology The Spirit’s Application of Salvation

conviction of sin is but the prelude of the proclamation of salvation by grace through faith in Christ.

JUSTIFICATION: RESTORED AND CONSIDERED NOT GUILTY.

Romans 5:1–2 ESV

Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

BLESSED

SLIDE: JESUS BRINGS US BACK INTO BLESSING

BLESSED: TO BE IN GOD’S RIGHT CREATED ORDER

English Standard Version Chapter 1

3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, 4 even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love 5 he predestined us for adoption to himself as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, 6 to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved. 7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, 8 which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight 9 making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his purpose, which he set forth in Christ 10 as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth.

11 In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will, 12 so that we who were the first to hope in Christ might be to the praise of his glory. 13 In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, 14 who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory.

English Standard Version Chapter 4

I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, 2 with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, 3 eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. 4 There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call— 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. 7 But grace was given to each one of us according to the measure of Christ’s gift.
