  • For something that is practiced by all Christian churches, baptism is also widely misunderstood. What is baptism? How is it to be done? Who is to receive it and when? In today’s video, I will play the video of a recent sermon by Jim Osman on baptism. It is very thorough and quite good. After the sermon, I will interview Jim and ask him what the feedback has been like. It will encourage you.
    Jim's sermon begins at 04:02
    Interview with Jim at 55:18

      @@JustinPetersMin thank you for all your teachings and videos, they have helped me tremendously. With that said I have a question that I have never heard explained nor taught on and that’s the scripture about a little leaven, leaven’s the whole thing. Well, everyone says we must overlook or walk in love even if certain things that are not biblical or is straddling the fence so to speak. That’s wrong to me. I see a apple looks good on outside but when it’s cut open there’s parts that are rotten or about to go bad so please help me understand how a Christian can walk hand in hand or sit under, partake of that ministry, with those that are teaching false doctrine that in no way lines up with the word of God, or with those that twist the word to make it say what they want it to say and mean. Clear as mud? Sorry. Thank you again for your sweet loving spirit but boldness to speak the truth, you are very much appreciated. God bless

      @@benniehaner2195 Leavening is yeast and when it's added to flour it makes the whole loaf rise, so we need to stay away from false teachers because they don't really teach truth. It was a good question you asked, here. May God always be with you, as you grow in Christ Jesus and the Word of God. I think that the leavening will speak about false teachings that can lead people astray and confuse them. It's like the saying that one rotten apple can spoil all the others that are boxed up with it and it certainly can. Most of the fruits I can think of will do that, as well.

He said it was amazing they didn’t even speak English however decided to come down to be baptized. Then said we fed them after each service.

    Mr. Peters this very thing happened to me when I was 5. I prayed the prayer with my parents, was baptized. Fast forward last year when I was 41 and I came to the realization that there was no way in my last 41 years that there was no evidence that I was a believer. I became very guilty of my sin and repented. Was then baptized a few months later. So grateful for Gods grace in saving me. Wonderful message. Thank you.

But this Pastor made me understand what is baptism actually mean and being immersed in Jesus. I left the Church because of false teachings from Pastor to Youth Pastors and other elders in the church. As of now i don’t have a church and im only listening to online services and teachings from RUclips and i thank God for using you Sir Justin Peter. I am praying that one day God will lead me to a new Home where i can serve the Lord and Worship God and be baptized. All Glory to the Most High.

    You are a gift to me and I'm sure others like me who feel utterly lost in churches that seem to function around the social aspects of the church regulars, and not teaching The Gospel and disciplining the flock. I rarely actually learned anything about God and God's attributes at the Methodist church where I said the prayer and "got saved." I was sitting in church week after week and I was not "feeling the Spirit." People would get to running up and down the aisles, speaking in tongues and doing all of these grand gestures and the church would go crazy. I thought that since I didn't have these kind of experiences that it just didn't work it, it wasn't for me. I was not chosen. I left the church and honestly have not been back and that was maybe 30 years ago. That experience really damaged my faith a lot and I believe it set me back on my path to Salvation. I was never told I was a sinner. I was never told why the world is wicked so I blamed God. This alone has caused me to doubt to the point of not believing The Bible because what God makes a world like this? I am so humbled that God didn't forget me and now I am learning so much from ministries like yours and John MacArthur primarily. I have an appetite for The Word, plain and simple, as if sitting in a classroom. And it makes perfect sense that I would learn better like this because classrooms aren't conducted as concerts and magic shows, they are quiet and they are structured and organized.
    I have never been baptized and I want to prepare for that great day. Thank you for this sermon. 🤍

    This sermon is honestly a God send.
    My 10 year old had recently asked me why we get Baptized. I told her that I need to pray about that question & when I fully understood why I would tell her.
    My parents always told me that baptism was an outward example of an inward acceptance/change of Jesus Christ. & That was never a sufficient answer for me.
    I never really understood WHY, as a Christ believing/following Christian, I had to be baptized. My parents are big into Charismatic Christianity.
    I have been searching for a sermon to share with my children, about why Christians get baptized. & Why their dad & I have not allowed them to be baptized yet. I have always wanted it to be their choice & insure that they understand the weight of what baptism is. I've always felt that baptism was a much bigger deal than what most people give it credit.
    I was 'baptized' at 12, not fully understanding why. I have been feeling lead to be baptized, because I couldn't have understood such an important act.
    Thank you Pastor Peters, this is such an important sermon.🙏❤️

      Paul says leaving the doctrines of baptism and laying on of hands eternal judgement faith in God and let us go on to perfection. What’s he saying? He’s saying these are all symbols of internal deeper things. Stop dunking yourselves in water when it’s spiritual. Water in the bible is truth. John says I baptise with water ( truth) but one will come who will baptise you with fire. ( spirit) .. it is ALL about within you , the kingdom is within you Jesus said. It’s about the mind ( human conciousness) awareness. Earth, water, air, fire, new mind. Low nature, higher divine nature. Mind of Christ. It’s the spirit of the story that gives life not the letter. ( literal ). It’s veiled to those who do not seek as Jesus said. All water will do is make you religious and follow the blind. Jump in the water if you want but after you are immersed in the truth, that sets you free, then meet Christ in the air of no thought. Through being still and silent , watching and waiting within.

      Which baptism is a part of the salvation process, based on what the Bible says?
      What did Peter say below?
      Acts 11:15 And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the beginning.
      Acts 11:16 Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost.
      Act 11:17 Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift as he did unto us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ; what was I, that I could withstand God?
      Based on Luke 3:16, and John 1:33, and Acts 11:15-16, the most important thing about the word "baptize" in the New Testament has nothing to do with water. The Holy Spirit is the master teacher promised to New Covenant believers in Jeremiah 31:34, and John 14:26, and is found fulfilled in Ephesians 1:13, and 1 John 2:27. Unfortunately, many modern Christians see water when they read the word "baptize" in the text. Based on the above, what is the one baptism of our faith found in the passage below? How many times is the word "Spirit" found in the passage, and how many times is the word "water" found in the passage?
      Eph 4:1 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,
      Eph 4:2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;
      Eph 4:3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
      Eph 4:4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
      Eph 4:5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
      “baptize” KJV
      Mat_3:11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:
      Mar_1:8 I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost.
      Luk_3:16 John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire:
      Joh_1:26 John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not;
      Joh_1:33 And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.

    My memory isn't all that good, but I know I was saved sometime between 9-11 years old, my Father went to Dallas Theological Seminary from 1990-1995. So when I was young, he taught my brothers and I a lot about the Bible and Scripture. I truly and whole heartedly believe I am Saved, however, I waited til 2018-2019 (36-37) to be Baptized/Immersed. At the time I was going to Central Baptist College and learning the scripture in depth. After a semester of in depth learning of Romans, I felt I needed to be baptized, at the church I was going to, Fellowship Bible Church.
    I totally agree with your teaching on Baptism, it is the same I have been taught by my Father, the few great Pastors I've had in my life and by my Professors at CBC.

She was so sad because she loved Lord Jesus so much and she said I am not baptized and Lord Jesus said I should, so at the age of 12 she got baptized. She had the Holy Spirit her whole life.Together with my dad I was raised in Christianity. My Mam was the one who prayed for us and her prayer was mostly answered. She spoke of Our Heavenly Father who loved us so much that He gave His only begotten Son Jesus Christ. Mostly she was the one who read from the Bible after dinner and she would sing after that together with us . She pointed always to the 10 commandments, and to Jesus Christ our Savoir. She got baptized at the age of 12, because she wanted to and understood what it was. She was a true Christen her whole life and so was my dad.

    My mother came from a Christian background and I was, as well, through her and her love of God, demonstrated by her everyday life. She was a schoolteacher and knew how to teach. She had stayed home to raise me and, since she taught as easily as she breathed, she would give me life lessons from God's word. I was christened as a baby. After my dad died, Mom moved down here to Louisiana to be with us and our two children. When my husband and I were baptized, we told her and one time I was talking to Mom and told her why we were baptized, which was that we died with Christ in baptism and rose to become new creations. After that, she wanted to be baptized, so she was baptized at our little Church of Christ. She understood we don't inherit our salvation because we come from a Christian background and little babies are too young to consent and choose to be buried with Christ in baptism and arise as a new creation. Mom went to a little baptist church downtown within walking distance and it was suggested to her that she should be baptized into the baptist church. She told the minister that she had already baptized and was buried with Christ in baptism and her sins were forgiven. The preacher didn't argue with Mom... Mom's whole family loved God and lived that love in their everyday lives. It was only after I grew up that I realized just how much they all loved and lived for God. They were such good examples in their lives and I was blessed to be born into such a family, but when we got here is when I realized that we don't inherit our salvation because of the family we are born into. When I went to church with my friend and neighbor, I was so thirsty to be forgiven on my sinful nature that I soaked up the Bible teaching as though I was starving to death and I actually was starving, hungering to learn everything about God in Christ Jesus. My husband started coming with me, with our children and he was baptized shortly after I was. He came out of the Catholic church and has never looked back, but he went to Catholic schools and studied Catholicism until he graduated from high school, so he knows the Catholic church well. He considers his faith to be private, but he's open to talking with me about what being a Christian means to him. God understands him better than I do and God will let him go at his own pace, to grow as he learns. He professes to be a Christian first and only, so he got what an amazing being God in Christ Jesus is and what Jesus did to reconcile us to God. I can hardly hold back the tears when I tell him how deeply it all affects me, what Jesus has done for all who believe He died for remission/forgiveness of our sins and what He suffered as our Perfect Sacrifice.

    Hello Justin, thanks for this video... I saw about 50% and will continue. I am a baptist (living in germany) and my baptism took place when I was around 20 years old - long time ago. One thing I remeber was the moment when the pastor raised his hands and blessed me - then a kind of electric shock was running through my body and I fall in the water - the next 10 days I was smiling and smiling... Interesting... Very nice experience - that you Jesus! But things changed, actually I am fighting with depressive moments in my live. It is quite hard to resist and not always possible. But I know, that God will lead me through and show me the neccessary points which I have to change... One thing is my min. 25 years hard struggle in martial arts (KungFu, TaiChi, ChiGong) - where I think I got a lot of bad spiritual influences - although I try to practice later as a christ. That seems to be impossible... So Justin, all the best to you and God's blessings!! Norbert

This video answered so many questions for me and my family. Thank you. I have since started going to a different church that baptizes Biblically. I will discuss this on Sunday with him. Baptism is absolutely about making a conscious decision and infants lack that. Thank you.

    I grew up in a non-Christian home, and I'd never heard of the gospel until I picked up a bible at the age of 30. I read the gospel of John over and over (about 5 times) and was convicted of sin, believed that Jesus was who He said He is, and had accomplished what He said He'd accomplished. I was then baptized that same year. Next, I underwent one-on-one discipleship with my pastor over a period of 6 months, and have been proclaiming the gospel every opportunity I have for the past 23 years.

      If words mean anything, Paul stated there was ONE baptism (Ephesians 4.5). One is one, not two. Do you believe there is more than one Lord, more than one faith? Water baptism was valid during God’s dealing with Israel (washings), during John the Baptist and Jesus’ earthly ministry, with the Twelve, and in the early part of Paul’s ministry. In the gospel of the kingdom water baptism was required for salvation (Mark 1.4, 16.16, John 3.5, Acts 2.38, 22.16). But that ended. We know it was on the way out from what Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 1 (and water baptism was never a requirement for salvation under Paul’s gospel). By the time Paul wrote the Ephesians, it was over. This is not complicated. The Scriptures are straightforward. The problem, once again, is tradition. Christians have been so brainwashed that baptism always means water they cannot think of it in any other terms. The only baptism, the GREAT baptism is 1 Corinthians 12.13 and Romans 6. It is bone dry. Grace and peace

    I started out in the little Church of Christ and it was a Bible believing little church. I know there are many Churches of Christ with different ways, such as instrumental and non-instrumental and some other differences that I can't think of right now, but after being in Christ Jesus for many years, more and more I realize that God led me to one of the most blessed little Churches we could have found in our area. We sang just fine without instrumental accompaniment. The Bible has verses where I think it was King David who danced and sang God's praises and there are passages where worshipers played musical instruments to praise God, so I don't have a problem with that point. We had an Elder who taught classes and he was spot-on about many things I hear on videos like this one. I was baptized into Christ Jesus, was buried with Him in baptism by immersion and arose a new creation in Christ. So were my husband and our two children as they got older. I was baptized by immersion because that's mentioned in the Bible. When I was growing up, my mother went to an Episcopal church nearby and I went with her. I was, christened as a baby, but a baby cannot give true consent and no one else can give that assent for that baby. As an adult, I realized this and so, after giving my whole self to God in Christ Jesus and it followed that I wanted to be baptized with Christ by immersion as He was and then to arise as a new creation. I'm so grateful for the Bible teachings I received from that Elder's classes. It was there that I learned so many good teachings which have become part of me over the years. I rely on our Precious Holy Spirit to lead me to truth even more fully, which started out as a new Christian. I'm so thankful that God called me to Jesus and that, through Jesus, I was reconciled to God and forgiven of my sins. The Holy Spirit has led me to answers I've asked of Him, in amazing ways and He has also shown me when I'm seeing truth, or not. I realize that God didn't owe us salvation, but through Jesus, it is the most wonderful, glorious gift that we could ever be given. It's awesome love and the older I've gotten and have grown as a Christian, the more deeply touching it has become. I appreciate my brothers, Justin Peters and people like Jim Osman and others for being able to make videos so we can see what's what. Thank you.

    You mentioned Mary Baxter's testimony on heaven and hell and through the wisdom of the Holy Spirit you pointed out how the Apostle Paul was caught up to the third heaven and heard inexpressable things that he was not permitted to speak about.
    ( So its 100% crystal clear that when a true Apostle Paul was not allowed to speak about paradise by Almighty God, why would Almighty God allow mere men and women who are not even Apostles to speak about visitations to heaven.
    Also: 1 Corinthians 2:9 However, as it is written:
    " No eye has seen,
    no ear has heard,
    no mind has conceived
    What God has prepared for those who love him.
    ( Thanks so much for the revelation and wisdom God has given you and sharing such knowledge and discernment with your brother's and sisters throughout the world.
    God bless you and your ministry and family in the mighty name of Jesus Christ because RUclips is rampant with false teachings and visitations of heaven and hell by mere men and women making money from writing books and deceiving numerous naive Christians, including myself until now.
    Glory to God.

    I was convicted of my sins and granted repentance and faith to trust in the work of Christ in my place on the cross when I was 11. I understood that baptism represented being buried with Christ and rising to new life. I also understood the representation of the sacrifice of Christ in the Lords Table and after speaking with my parents and pastor I joined the church and was baptised and took the Lords Table for the first time. I may not have been able to give a detailed exposition of the faith at that time but I am sure of the work of the Spirit who opened my eyes to the truth of the gospel through the preaching of the word and the practice of the ordinances.

      I feel I was saved the same way as you. I grew up in the church and understood the basics of knowing I was/am/will be a sinner and that Jesus died for me and to be a Christian was to be "Christ like", as to do as he did. He was baptized and I was taught, through scripture, that is also how we may receive the Holy Spirit. I mad my confession at 14 and was baptized right after such as the Eunuch in Acts 8:36. I've grown in my studies over the years that baptism is not what saves, as you are saved by your mouth, but if you confess and were to die right there, would that negate your profession of faith? No. All glory to Jesus for what he has done in our place and eternally grateful we shall be.

I was wondering if you know any churches here in Malaysia that have the same faith as these preachers as I am currently looking for a church to attend in person.

    I had sent this to the last person from Justin Peters Ministry looking for answers and just got a thumbs up.Hi again. I have something I want to talk to you about. I have been black and white about the subject of euthanasia for years believing it was wrong but now I have mixed feelings about it and I will tell you why. In Canada it is called MAID. A friend of mine recently used this service as he had Leu Garrett disease or ALS which is a horrible way to die. I didn't agree with this.
    But then I started thinking about our animals and how we put them down so they don't suffer and we think nothing of it.We may even be relieved that they are no longer in pain so why is it soooo different when it comes to a precious loved one or any person that is so much more precious to the Lord to be relieved of their pain and suffering? I have another friend who has lung cancer and 2 cancerous brain tumor that also has that in place and I am not sure what to think. My first friend was not a Christian but this last one l9ves the Lord with all of her heart.
    Why is it ok for animals but not precious people??
    I have such mixed feelings now. What does the word of God say or does it?

      Hi Debbie. Animals do not have a soul and are not made in the image of God. People are. Only God has the right (outside of capital punishment) to take life. We can and should make the dying as comfortable as possible until they pass, but their passing is up to God, not us.

      @@JustinPetersMin Exactly...pets don't have a soul and yet we don't let them suffer. People do have a soul and are dying painful deaths .My friend that wasn't a Christian made his choice and he reaps his rewards. My friend who is a Christian has that in place if her living gets too bad....I am torn by this...I do believe God's grace is sufficient and I pray she makes a decision that keeps her heaven bound. 🙏

      @@debbieconner7404 I have a precious brother in Christ at church who has battled cancer for five years now. He just came home from MD Anderson cancer center in TX. He has been to multiple states and endured multiple treatments, experimental and common. They said they had exhausted all avenues and he is facing death in possibly a couple weeks now.
      He came to church last Sunday to tell everyone goodbye and thanks for everything. He has been in so much pain the last two months because they had to lessen the pain meds for his treatments.
      He told us he was thankful for the pain because he thinks the Lord is helping him look forward to heaven even more.
      That is a thought I never had and we are amazed at the depth of faith he has. Jesus said he will never leave us or forsake us. We shouldn’t take his blessings away because we can’t understand with our finite human brains. He is now on pain meds so it has lessened. Please pray without ceasing and praise God for his Sovereignty in life and death. Peace sister🙏

    Hi! I know this was uploaded quite some time ago but I would appreciate any response when you have the time.
    I work with teens and young adults with cognitive delays and intellectual disabilities and neurodevelopmental disorders. If they can’t fully intellectualize Jesus’ savings grace, but they can understand in general, that they love Jesus and that they are Christian, can they be baptized? Some of the adult language that Pastor Jim highlights might be complex for them to understand, but they can generally say what they’ve learned from their parents. What are some of the guidelines for them? Thank you!

    At 50:00 waiting for 4 weeks to baptize someone is NOT Biblical. In the N.T. people got baptized immediately (Acts 2:36-42), even that same hour of the night (Acts 16:33) "And he took them the same hour of the night and washed their stripes. And immediately he and all his family were baptized."
    Even Paul who broke the record by not being baptized until 3 days later was rebuked for delaying his baptism in (Acts 22:16) "‘And now why are you waiting? Arise and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord.’"
    Whats interesting about this verse is that Paul was still in his sins until he got baptized. Therefore he couldn't have been saved on the road to Damascus!

    Ok...how much water should we use in baptism? At what age could person start be baptised? Bible says they been baptised in river, would it mean we should be baptised in river (or running water)?

    I dont know if this was wrong or right but when I was baptised I couldnt tell you why I was getting baptised or what baptism actually is beyond 'I love Jesus' and ' showing a public proclamation of Jesus as Lord'. But don't worry God fixed my weak almost none-existing theology over the following couple of years. Baptism is the work of God, just like Salvation is a work of God and producing fruit is a work of God.

    Excellent sermon on baptism! One preacher went even farther on Matthew 28:19, where it commands us to "teach all nations, baptizing (immersing) them in the NAME of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit". There is no mention of earthly water (H2O), but we are to be immersed in the NAME of the HOLY TRINITY itself! Those three MUST be our everything always! (God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit seem to place huge value on their NAMES). Matthew 1:21 You shall call his NAME Jesus, for he shall save his people from their sins. Thoughts? (BTW: I am a strong advocate of born again people getting water baptized by immersion)
