A friend asked if I would do a short video explaining how
belief, baptism, and communion fit together so she could share it with her
Bible study group. Since questions about these things are quite common, I
present it here for anyone else who would benefit from the clarification.
In our day, many people believe they can believe, but
without any association with the death of Jesus Christ as commemorated through
communion. Others want to participate in communion as if it magically makes them
okay with God even though they have no faith in Jesus, and have never confessed
him as Lord and Savior through baptism. Some people want to say they believe in
Jesus, but without obeying him regarding baptism, and others want to be
baptized as a fire insurance policy to keep them out of hell, but neither want
a life of faith, or a focus on what Jesus did for us through the shedding of
his blood.
For such reasons as these, I share this in the hope that we will honor God by joining him in all he teaches about belief, baptism, and communion. If you have any questions, feel free to email me, or ask in the comments section below so we can invite others to join the exploration of God’s word on the matter.
