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.

Changes After Acts 28 - Part 1
Paul's pronouncement in Acts 28 brought great changes in God's dealings with men on the earth. It marked the setting aside of Israel, nationally. In the letters Paul wrote from Rome, especially the book of Ephesians, it marked the full unveiling of the mystery of Christ, concerning a new dispensation of grace during which God would deal with a new body of believers, the Church, the Body of Christ. As a result, we see the diminishing of the sign gifts.
Scripture References: Acts 28:25-31
From Series: "The Book of Acts"
These lessons provide a verse by verse study through one of the most challenging books of the Bible from a dispensational viewpoint, showing the transition from God's focus on Israel to the start of the Church, the Body of Christ.
