12 Marks of the Apostolic Church (1)

Summary

The sermon introduces a series on the 12 marks of the Apostolic Church, emphasizing the importance of aligning with the New Testament church as established by Jesus Christ and the apostles. The first three marks discussed are a regenerated and converted membership, believers' baptism by immersion, and the practice of the Lord's Supper. The preacher stresses the necessity of regeneration by the Holy Spirit and conversion through faith in Christ as prerequisites for church membership, rejecting cultural adaptations that depart from biblical standards. Baptism is presented as an outward symbol of inward spiritual transformation, following Jesus' example and command.
