Why Baptism? In this episode of the Holy WIT Podcast we discuss what is the mark of salvation and how baptism in the discipleship journey of a follower of Jesus is the true mark of salvation.

C S Lewis called the sinners prayer the great catalyst of nonsense. What do you think of his view of the sinners prayer?

The first time we see baptism in the New Testament is with John the Baptist out in the desert baptizing people telling them to repent. Jesus exampled our need for baptism by having John baptize Him even though He didn't need to be baptized. It was from there that Jesus received the Holy Spirit through a dove landing on Him. From there he went into the desert and through a time of solitude, fasting and engaging with the Father Jesus then battled with Satan and defeated him.

The great news is that as we believe, change the way we think and are baptized like Jesus we then also receive Holy Spirit and are given the same authority Jesus has. It is through this authority from Jesus that we then do what He commanded us "Go to the lost, confused people right here in the neighborhood. Tell them that the kingdom is here. Bring health to the sick. Raise the dead. Touch the untouchables. Kick out the demons. You have been treated generously, so live generously."
