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.

Suffering for Christ's Name
(Acts 5:33-42). After the twelve apostles were arrested and brought before the Sanhedrin, Peter and the other apostles gave a bold testimony for Jesus Christ before these Jewish rulers, but they were not persuaded. They were cut through the heart, meaning they were furious and plotted to put the apostles to death. However, Gamaliel, a famous rabbi, intervened and counseled the Sanhedrin to let the apostles alone and see what happened. After the council beat (scourged) them and commanded them not to speak in Jesus' name, they let the apostles go. In this study, we focus on how the apostles reacted to the persecution and sufferings they endured for the name of their Savior, Jesus Christ.

From Series: "Acts - Book of Transitions"
The book of Acts is one of the most important books in the Bible, touching on many key doctrines that affect how we worship and serve the Lord. Yet, it is also one of the most misunderstood books of the Bible, an issue that has caused great division among believers. This series of lessons is a verse by verse study, from a dispensational perspective, through the book of Acts, a book that is marked by transition. These messages were preached by Pastor Gregg Bing at Grace Bible Church during the morning worship service in 2022-2023.
