In this video we're talking about baptism, a topic that comes up very frequently in the Bible. There are two types of baptism; baptism in water and baptism of the Holy Spirit, both of which are vital in the life of a Christian.
Water baptism is a public declaration of our faith and is a complete immersion under water that symbolises the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus. To be baptised is to symbolise and declare that our old self is dead and that we are raised new with Christ.
When we choose to follow Jesus as our Lord and Savior the Holy Spirit comes and indwells in us, but baptism of the Holy Spirit is a separate occasion that a believer can experience after conversion and should actively seek out. Being filled with the Holy Spirit (continually) brings power, boldness to witness and helps us move in the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
Make sure you watch the whole video for a full overview of each type of baptism, why it’s important, how to get it and what Scripture says about each topic.
