Episode 374: Sacraments, Part Two--Baptism in the New Testament

In our new series exploring the sacraments, baptism and Holy Communion, pastors Erica, Sarah, and Steve are tracing these essential Christian practices from their rootings in the teaching and institution of Jesus through the present day.  Today we'll look at the New Testament as a bridge between Jesus' own baptism by John in the river Jordan and the many forms, modes, and practices around baptism today.  We'll look at how the early church understood baptism and why whole households were sometimes baptized all at once, and how baptism was also understood as God's gift of a new identity--like being born all over again.  Join the conversation and listen in here as we explore more of what it means to be the baptized people of God here on Crazy Faith Talk!
