ACERCA DE ESTE EPISODIO
Baptism is one of the most debated and misunderstood practices in Christianity, and yet Scripture speaks about it with remarkable clarity. In this episode of Solid Food, Dr. Lee Lewis explores what baptism is, what it accomplishes, and why it matters—drawing primarily from Romans 6 and the broader testimony of Scripture. Together, we examine baptism’s roots in Second Temple Judaism, its role in Christian initiation, and its connection to grace, faith, repentance, and new life in Christ. This is not a polemic, but a careful biblical study designed to inform conscience and strengthen conviction. Wherever you land, you are encouraged to let Scripture—not tradition orassumption—shape your understanding.
