Baptist Perspective

Today we will continue discussing some of the benefits as listed in the confessions where both Protestants and Baptists agree.

Today we will begin discussing some of the benefits as listed in the confessions where both Protestants and Baptists agree.

Our study today is of a more positive nature in that the remaining articles in both the Westminster and Baptist confessions are essentially the same. Therefore, we will discuss of blessings of the Lord’s Supper.

Our study today involves a further study of the distinction of the Lord’s Supper between the Protestants and the Baptists. Is it a mystery linked with various emotions or is it revealing the death of Christ in a memorial service?

In this study we begin comparing the difference between the standard reformed view and the Baptist view of the Lord’s Supper. This lesson also reviews again what is meant by the term “sacrament” because it is generally misunderstood by most people.

Today we will begin looking at the distinction between the Reformers and the Baptist regarding the Lord’s Supper. In this lesson we will show some of the basic positions of the Reformers.

In our previous studies regarding Greek words for baptism and their connection with the rite of water baptism, we covered the gospels and the book of Acts. Today we continue by looking into the epistles.

Previously we studied the passages in the gospels regarding the Greek words for baptism and how they are used in connection with baptism. Our study today continues with this theme in the book of Acts.

Today we begin considering who is the proper subject or candidate for baptism. In this study, we find that a major difference between Baptists and Reformers is that the Reformers include infants whereas Baptists do not. This podcast covers how the Greek words for baptism are used in connection with the rite of baptism in the gospels.

As we conclude our study of the mode of baptism, we will see from meaning and use of the Greek words for immersion, sprinkling, and pouring are not synonymous. Scripture shows the Lord using these three words together in the same context and it is obvious that they are not identical. Also, the use of prepositions with the Greek word for baptism clearly teaches that baptism is performed “in water” and not “with water.”
