Baptism according to Scripture is more than a ritual—it is an expression of faith in Jesus for the forgiveness of sins. In this episode of the Radically Christian Podcast, Wes McAdams talks with Dr. Bobby Harrington, founder of Discipleship.org and Renew.org, about what the Bible truly teaches about baptism and why Christians must understand its connection to the gospel.
Dr. Harrington, author of Baptism According to Scripture: A Clear, Short, and Unfiltered Guide, explains why immersion in the name of Jesus Christ is the New Testament pattern (Acts 2:38), how baptism expresses loyalty and allegiance to King Jesus, and why it is wrong to separate baptism from faith in Christ. Together, Wes and Bobby explore the restoration movement perspective, early church history, and common misunderstandings in evangelical circles.
