Baptisms (Part 1)
Foundations of the Christian FaithSteve Gregg
In this segment, Steve Gregg delves into the biblical concept of baptisms as discussed in Hebrews 6. He examines the use of the word "baptismos," suggesting that it refers to Jewish washing rituals rather than the traditional Christian baptism. Gregg stresses the importance of unity in Christianity and the shared experience of baptism, urging against division and personal claims to baptism. He also explores the idea of baptism by fire, connecting it to trials and tribulations in the Christian walk.
