You'd Be Proud
 

My husband preached THE BEST message this morning on being Born Again, relating it to natural birth. So easy to understand!

Conception (Repentance) - Life happens at Conception (Salvation)
The Baby cannot stay there though - he needs to go through the water (Baptism). Then comes the Breath of Life ("pneuma") and Language - (Holy Spirit baptism). However, life was there as soon as repentance and confession happened. There are just more steps that come afterwards.

That how a person is born of the Water (natural birth) and of the Spirit (spiritual birth).

He also talked about why we baptize in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. It explains Matt. 28:19 perfectly. "Lord" (Father), "Jesus (Son), "Christ" (Spirit). When we say "in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ", we are baptizing in the name of the F,S & HS. That's why we do it that way.

Next Sunday is our big baptism push (Made New Sunday), which we do a couple times a year, so we will see how many sign up this week. We baptize nearly every week, but these are really big days. The next week, he is teaching on the Holy Ghost and why everyone needs it. I'm excited to see what will happen.

"Lord Jesus Christ" as a baptismal formula = trinity compromise.

Absolutely, as well as Bro. J.O. Moore, Bro. Hansford, Bro. CM Greer - all the good old Tennessee elders that have gone on before.

Lord Jesus Christ is totally Biblical and fulfills Matthew 28:19 as well as Acts 2:38. It's the most Biblical thing you can possibly say.
