One Baptism

Summary

The sermon emphasizes the unity of the church through one Lord, one faith, and one baptism, focusing on the biblical doctrine of baptism by immersion as a symbol of Christ's death, burial, and resurrection. It stresses that baptism is for believers who have faith in the gospel of grace and is an act of obedience and discipleship, not a means of salvation or sin removal. The authority to baptize is given to ordained ministers within the church, maintaining the biblical order and practice. The preacher rejects infant baptism and sprinkling, affirming believer's baptism by immersion as the only valid form according to Scripture.
