Baptism Without Water? The Real Meaning of "Baptizo"

Is water baptism necessary for salvation today? Why is there so much confusion and division in the church regarding this ordinance? In this video, we dig into the "Religious TNT" of baptism to uncover what the Bible actually teaches when we rightly divide the Word of Truth. Most Christians assume that every mention of "baptism" in the Bible refers to water. However, Scripture reveals a "doctrine of baptisms" (Hebrews 6:2)—plural—indicating there are at least seven distinct types found in the Bible, and not all of them are wet! *In this video, we cover:* *The Real Definition:* Why the Greek word baptizo means "identification" and "immersion," not just water ritual, and how Israel was "baptized unto Moses" on dry ground (1 Corinthians 10:1-2).,, *John’s Baptism:* How John the Baptist was continuing the Old Testament "divers washings" to prepare a Kingdom of Priests for Israel, demanding repentance for the remission of sins (Mark 1:4).,, *Why Jesus Was Baptized:* If Jesus was sinless, why did He submit to a baptism of repentance? We explain how He did it to "fulfill all righteousness" and legally enter the priesthood according to the Law of Moses (Exodus 29:4).,, *The Great Commission vs. Paul’s Commission:* The stark contrast between the Twelve Apostles, who were sent to baptize (Matthew 28:19), and the Apostle Paul, who stated, "Christ sent me NOT to baptize" (1 Corinthians 1:17).,, *The One Baptism for Today:* Why Paul teaches in Ephesians 4:5 that there is now only "one baptism" for the Body of Christ—the spiritual baptism by the Holy Spirit into the Body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12:13).,, Stop confusing the Kingdom program given to Israel with the Dispensation of Grace given to the Body of Christ. Learn why water baptism was a mandatory ordinance for Israel’s priesthood but has been superseded by our completeness in Christ today. *Scripture References:* Ephesians 4:5, 1 Corinthians 1:17, Acts 2:38, Romans 6:3-4, Colossians 2:10-12, Matthew 3:11.
