Ezekiel 3 & 33 + Article of Faith 7

Summary

The sermon focuses on the biblical role of a watchman as exemplified by Ezekiel, emphasizing the responsibility to warn others of impending spiritual danger. It then transitions to a detailed teaching on the ordinance of baptism, highlighting the proper subjects (believers who have professed faith), the proper mode (immersion, based on the Greek word baptizo and scriptural examples), and the proper administrators (pastors and teachers commissioned to preach and baptize). The sermon underscores baptism as a public profession of faith symbolizing the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
