April 19, 2024 Speaker: The Bald & Bearded Pastors Series: Season 1

In this week's episode we talk about the ordinances, baptism and the Lord's Supper and how they are visual depictions of the word in our gathered worship. We then dive first into baptism, what it signifies, who should receive it and why mode of baptism is important.

  3. Briefly cover different views.
  4. What is believer’s baptism?
  5. Who should be baptized?
  6. Why do we make such a big deal about the mode of baptism (by immersion)?
  7. Why does Faith require baptism by immersion for membership?
  8. What if I was baptized as a baby or sprinkled as an adult, should I get baptized?
  9. Should I be baptized if I’ve already been a Christian for a long time but have not been baptized?
  10. How can I get baptized at Faith?
