TRANSCRIPT 🔗
1
00:00:05,147 --> 00:00:08,953
In the early part of Christ's
ministry, He told one Nicodemus
2
00:00:09,068 --> 00:00:11,155
about a birth that would save.
3
00:00:11,272 --> 00:00:14,482
No longer was it required
to be born as a Jew.
4
00:00:14,710 --> 00:00:19,106
The new birth that was coming was one of
water and the Spirit, which would make one
5
00:00:19,106 --> 00:00:23,823
a part of the kingdom of God [John 3:5].
6
00:00:23,936 --> 00:00:27,959
John the Baptizer practiced
baptism in preparation for Jesus.
7
00:00:28,053 --> 00:00:30,181
Jesus did the same.
8
00:00:30,182 --> 00:00:31,880
He was baptized [Matthew 3].
9
00:00:32,152 --> 00:00:36,560
In John 3:1, He was
baptizing—His disciples were—as
10
00:00:36,565 --> 00:00:37,934
He was going about teaching.
11
00:00:38,243 --> 00:00:40,882
His apostles did [Acts 2:38].
12
00:00:41,205 --> 00:00:46,328
And the Apostle Paul said he was one born
out of due season [I Corinthians 15:8].
13
00:00:46,662 --> 00:00:53,308
The church started with baptized
believers [Acts 2:41 and 47].
14
00:00:53,455 --> 00:00:58,201
Water baptism saves according
to the Bible [I Peter 3:20].
15
00:00:58,306 --> 00:01:02,949
Why is it we have such discussion
and such controversy over
16
00:01:02,949 --> 00:01:04,888
this clear Bible doctrine?
17
00:01:05,012 --> 00:01:05,891
That's the gospel.
18
00:01:08,318 --> 00:01:10,113
