Most people assume that water baptism is something that Christians should still practice today, but they certainly don’t agree as to who, how, or why it should be practiced. The Apostle Paul, our apostle for this present dispensation of grace, declares in Ephesians 4:3-6 that one aspect of the unity of the Spirit is that there is only one baptism. In this brief series, we examine what Paul meant by this and how it affects our understanding of the place of baptism in God’s purpose for His people.
These Bible messages on the One Baptism were preached by Pastor Gregg Bing in 2006-2007 during the morning worship services at Grace Bible Church in Fort Worth, TX.

Our Adversary the Devil
As believers, we are engaged in a spiritual warfare every day. Paul addresses this in the final section of the book of Ephesians (6:10-20). Our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against a powerful spiritual enemy, Satan, whose very name means "adversary." He has great authority and holds power to influence and control the evil world we live in, so Paul issues two commands to believers: 1) Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might, and 2) Put on the whole armor of God. These resources that God provides are needed if we are to stand against this enemy and withstand his attacks against us.
