You Asked For It v2 | S8E3 Beyond The Weekend Podcast

What is baptism? What isn't it?! We're continuing our You Asked For It Volume 2 series by seeing what the Bible has to say about baptism.

Join Amelia Rhodes, pastor Luke Koskinen, and pastor Aaron Buer for Season 8 Episode 3 of the Beyond the Weekend Podcast as they cover what it is (an ordinance, not a sacrament), how Catholic, Reformed, and Believer's Baptism traditions differ in their understanding of it, and what happens to infants who die. The hosts also trace how baptism shifted historically from a believer's practice to a civic ritual under Constantine, then back again through the Reformation. The episode closes with a personal story about student baptisms and a practical next step for anyone feeling called to be baptized.
