The Doctrine of Baptism

Back in 1980 Jimmie Steele preached a sermon about THE DOCTRINE OF BAPTISM at the Karns church. I used the points he made in his material to broadcast that excellent lesson to my listening audience in western Kentucky over WCBL, 99.1 on the FM dial and AM 1290. He made the following points in the study:

(1) The Doctrine of Baptism is a SCRIPTURAL DOCTRINE—It is divinely commanded.

(2) The Doctrine of Baptism is a controversial doctrine among many teachers of the religious world.

(3) Who is the Scriptural subject for baptism?

(4) The Scriptural ELEMENT of baptism, the ONE baptism, is WATER.

(5) The true doctrine of baptism requires ONE mode or method.

(6) Baptism has a scriptural DESIGN or PURPOSE.

(7) All unscripturally taught persons are scriptural subjects STILL for baptism.

Friends, let us make sure that we as individuals have been scripturally taught on the doctrine of baptism. Our souls are too precious for us to be weighed in the balances and found wanting in that final Judgment Day (Rom 14.10-12; 2 Cor 5.10-11; Eccl 12.13-14).
