Great Commission Baptism
  • Does it continue today?
  • Who is preaching it?
  • Many creeds deny Gods purpose in baptism

Col 123 ..the hope of the gospel which you
heard, which was preached to every creature under
heaven
5
Now it is different
  • It is most likely that in the Apostolic age when
    there was but one Lord, one faith, and one
    baptism, and no differing denominations existed,
    that baptism of a convert by that very act
    constituted him a member of the church, and at
    once endowed him with all the rights and
    privileges of full membership. In that sense,
    baptism was the door into the church. Now it is
    different. (Hiscox Manual, p. 22)

6
What is different? Eph 44-5
  • If Baptism is different now, why is it
    different?
  • Did God or man make it different?
  • But notice one Lord, one faith, one baptism
  • Is one Lord different today?
  • Is one faith different?
  • There were no denominations when Eph 4 was
    written thus only one baptism.
