The Kingdom of God, Part Forty-One: The Proper Candidates for Baptism (Mat. 3)

Summary

Elder Chris McCool of Zion-Primative Baptist Church teaches that baptism is only for believers who have repented and profess faith in Jesus Christ, rejecting infant baptism as unbiblical. He emphasizes the regulative principle, insisting that only what Scripture commands should be practiced, noting no biblical example or command for infant baptism. He also addresses common arguments for infant baptism, such as its supposed connection to circumcision and household baptisms, and refutes them with Scripture and historical context. The sermon calls for adherence to believers' baptism by immersion as a public confession of faith and obedience to God's word.
