The “What, Why & How” of Baptism

    One of the most hated doctrines of Scripture is the exclusivity of Christ. That is a fancy and theological way of saying that salvation is by Christ alone apart from any human performance. Most people in the church today would agree with that statement at the surface, but that is not true of the culture that surrounds the church. It is also safe to say that much of the religious culture today is wavering on the issue of the exclusivity of Christ.

    Each town is different and presents it’s own set of cultural and religious challenges. A challenge that is often faced in our town here in middle Tennessee is the subject of baptismal regeneration. That is a fancy and theological way of saying that a person must be baptized in order to be saved. The Church of Christ is extremely popular in the middle Tennessee region. Their teachings are extremely dogmatic and often radical enough to pronounce those who don’t affiliate with a “Church of Christ” congregation as a heathen who is going to hell.

      How to be Saved

      It is one thing to know about Jesus, but it is another thing altogether to know Jesus! Years ago, I was a lost church member who was involved in church and participated in everything the church had to offer, but inwardly I was lost and without salvation. At that time, I was teaching a Sunday School class and involving myself in mission activities of the church, but I was not a Christian. I believe that many people in Seminary classrooms, Sunday School classes and even in the pulpits across America are in that same position. Therefore, it is important to examine yourself to see if you are in the faith.
